The FC Bayern coach was almost as annoyed as the HB male, who blew up in the TV commercial with anger. The Bavarian vocabulary knows the term Giftnickl for quick-tempered sports comrades, whereas a Gläzn is rather boring.

Sports comrade Julian Nagelsmann’s nerves were overtaxed at the weekend. The FC Bayern coach got really upset about the referee during the game against the “foals” from Mönchengladbach. He even got carried away with verbal gaffes, then he turned red – almost like the HB male who used to blow up in the TV commercial out of sheer anger. The Bavarian vocabulary knows terms such as Zornbinkerl and Gifthaferl for irritable individuals who flare up and express themselves irascibly. A mug is a small pot, which in this case is filled with anger and resentment. Instead of Gifthaferl you also say Giftnickl and Giftnudel.
After Nagelsmann’s outburst of anger on Bavarian television, fellow coach Manuel Baum said he was confident that his young colleague was still learning to keep his emotions under control. We know from experience that a poisonnickl quickly calms down – in contrast to those ruffians who are called Glachl, Lackl and Gloiffe. These usually maintain their rough roughness permanently.

The television program in Germany mainly consists of thrillers and quiz shows. You can lose patience, like on Saturday, when the ARD evening program lasted almost four hours with the quiz show “Who knows something?” was broadcast. The omnipresent TV heroes Günther Jauch and Markus Lanz also took part there. “It’s amazing,” remarked one of the relatives, “if there’s a quiz somewhere, it’s always the same Glazn!”
The word Gläzn is related to Kletzen. These are dried pears or plums, i.e. dried fruit from which Kletzenbrot is made. A human glaze is less digestible. Rather, this is a guy who spreads boredom or does annoying things out of spite. However, Jauch, Lanz and all the other guessing foxes from television are friendly Glazn, who only provoke a short yawn by their constant presence.
