When the actor, under the spell of a film role as a choleric high blood pressure type, began to scream at home, his family reacted in dismay. Everyone looked at him, the Prackl man image, “wia de Singerl”
Prackl
The Woidboyz are three fellows who work on behalf of the Bavarian Broadcasting Hitchhiking across Bavaria. The stories they come across can be seen regularly on television. Most recently, the trio ended up at the Maristen-Gymnasium Furth near Landshut, where one of them, Uli, once went to school. Uli’s former math teacher dug out the annual report from the 1993/94 school year, in which the student body at that time is immortalized. Everyone looked excitedly at the 5th grade photo. “There”, Uli called immediately and pointed excitedly at a boy, “des Prackl there, des bin i”. A loud laugh followed, the schoolboy Uli was actually not bad together. And that is exactly what the word Prackl (Brackel) expresses, the massive part of a body, almost the opposite of a Krischperl. “A Prackl Mannsbild, that was him!” Once judged the BR magazine Capriccio about the actor Jörg Hube, who died in 2009. One form of increase is called Mordsprackl. Perhaps the Latin brachium (forearm) is in it, so you say Pratzn on the hand. Cabaret artist Monika Gruber once asked herself why a Prackl man known to her was nicknamed Flocki …
Singerl
The entertainer Sigi Zimmigart called himself the other day in a conversation on the BR radio show Blue couch as a stoic. It would only be dangerous for his mind if he had to remain in an evil role as an actor for too long. Once he played a choleric in a film who exploded from zero to a hundred, “of the types of high blood pressure,” as he called him. The role followed him for eight weeks, and he couldn’t get rid of it at home either. “I picked up oamoi rumgschrian, and my family hod mi ogschaut wia de Singerl, because they didn’t expect that from me,” he said. Like the Singerl – that’s a very nice picture. “He looks like a Singerl when it flashes,” is how they say about someone who looks surprised or otherwise funny. Singerl are newly hatched chicks, beavers, who chirp and run after the brooding hen. Maybe they are called Singerl because their bieb-bieb-bieb-sounds were mistaken for a song. Shy squeaking girls are also called singers.
