Vienna #36 - HOIT DI GOSCHN

"Austrians are 1) very polite, 2) they don't mean it.

On one side they say 'Gruß Gott, wie geht es Ihnen?', but in their mind they say, 'Oida hoit di goschn du bleda wappla!' "

True, except for the Viennese, it's the very opposite of that statement. Viennese are 1) very rude, 2) they mean it.

Vielen Dank.

Glossary :


Oida hoit di goschn du bleda wappla! (austrian dialect)
Alter, halt die Klappe du blöder Trottle! (standart german)
Man, shut that howling screamer (the mouth), you skunk! (english translation)


Gruß Gott, wie geht es Ihnen?
Hello, how are you?
