Re: [Cz-L] From Piteygasse to home made Vishinyak.

Jerry,
Weichsel and Schmetten as in use in Czernowitz belong to East Austrian
German dialect.
  These are not particulary Czernowitzer lingo.
   If you use them today in Vienna - you will be well understood.
    Also Semmel and Kredenz and many many more...
  Czernowitz the melting pot of East and West German ,Ruthenian ,Rumanian.
   Take the saying :" Chapt sey der Riech" which includes 3 languages -
    Chapaty - Ukrainean for catching.
       Sey - from German - Sie = them
       Riech - from Hebrew Ruah wind but also bad spirit.
    In short : "May the Devil catch (get) them !"
