Dugaboy,
I was just trying to say that if Demi-blok is the correct spelling in German, the expression comes straight from the French and/or Belgian "demi-bloc".For instance, I do not believe that "Demi" means anything in German. And yes, it is the same as chopper-lump.
I guess I should use more around my text as the post was not supposed to be hostile in any way.
Maybe I should have used "original" instead of "proper".

WC , what you wrote didn't bother me, I just didn't understand what the point was you were trying to make, that's all!

The "DEMI-BLOC" name for chopper lump is used by the Italian makers as well. In fact most of eastern Europe uses Demi-bloc! Like a lot of words used by Americans, that are not American at all or, in fact, even English, are really French words! like "camouflage" for instance!
