Ich habe folgendes bei alt.usage.german gefunden und dachte es koennte ja
auch hier jemand interessieren. john
"Mausdoadschmatzer," a dialectal word of northern Bavaria, that has gone
through German media recently prompts me to ask participants who are
interested in the many dialects of Germany to give readers of this news
group also a chance to look at some of the remarkably expressive words
from
various parts of Germany that do not usually appear in Standard German.
Can
you contribute a word or expression?
For the uninitiated, a "Mausdoadschmatzer" is a funny north Bavarian word
for a speaker who talks and talks and talks until his listener is as dead
as
a mouse. The Bavarian comedian Bruno Jonas used it recently in a
performance
to describe Dr. Markus Söder, secretary-general of the Christian Social
Union, who was in the audience. Söder, who was born in Franconia
(Nürnberg),
did not understand the word, which had to be explained to him by his other
Bavarian colleges sitting around him. He didn't look too happy about the
explanation.
Bruno Jonas will not be known abroad, but many Germans will have seen him
on
national TV on the program "Scheibenwischer." Here's a link a those who
would like to know more about him and hear him speak.
