Reference: A nickname for Germans Reference information: האוסטרים כינו את התיקנים Preussen או פרוסים Schwaben (שוואבים) The Austrians never liked the Prussians or the Swabians. Just like Fritz or Huns. In Hungary: "Sváb" pron. "Shvab" = German (not that bad but use it with care, can turn to pretty derogative). Use with extreme care. |
