minus-square Square Singer ( @squaresinger@feddit.de ) linkfedilink18•edit-210 months agoHere are a few Austrian ones: “Häferl” (Cup): someone with anger management issues “Du rüttelst am Watschenbaum” (You are shaking the slap tree): I’m close to deliver the fruit of said tree to you. “Ohrwaschlkaktus” (Ear cactus): Someone with large, protruding ears “Saubauch” (Hog belly): A way of telling someone that they are fat and dumb at the same time. But in a nice way.

“Du rüttelst am Watschenbaum” (You are shaking the slap tree): I’m close to deliver the fruit of said tree to you.
“Ohrwaschlkaktus” (Ear cactus): Someone with large, protruding ears
“Saubauch” (Hog belly): A way of telling someone that they are fat and dumb at the same time. But in a nice way.
