In times of high CSU dominance, it was still said that the blacks would be sworn into the state parliament in army strength. Today, at best, one is only sworn to the screen – or one swears one’s annoyance owe.

The strange word “election campaign plant” could recently be read in the Austria newsletter of the SZ. First of all, it should be noted that the “a” in this case must be pronounced brightly, only then the pronunciation is authentic. The word is best known from the expression “Mach koane Pflànz!” That means: Don’t be silly, pull yourself together! Words such as fisimatenten, foolishness, stupidities are suitable as synonyms for plants. Anyone who plants someone (the “a” is spoken brightly again) is fooling them, smearing them out. A planter can be a salad planter or an easy-going young person. In the BR cult series “Monaco Franze”, the Tierpark Toni asks Franze: “You suck honestly, Franze, did I plant anything?” Franze replies: “No breaks!”

A large part of the editorial staff still works in the home office, which is why the morning conference takes place virtually on the computer. So you don’t sit next to each other in person, you only see the heads of your colleagues on the screen. It often takes a good minute for everyone to join in. Recently, while waiting, colleague K. stated: “Now that’s it!” He meant ironically: everyone is slowly being swept onto the screen. It was similar in the past, in times of high CSU dominance, that the blacks would be sworn into the state parliament in army strength. The imagery of such speeches results primarily from the dialectal form. The verb schwoam (to swim) was popularized by the popular imperative “Schwoamas owe!” When frustration reigns, some people wash down their Grant with alcohol. In 1977, Josef Ilmberger mentioned a custom in his language primer that may have been forgotten today. On the Thursday after Corpus Christi, the smoke glut took place in some places. The clergy, teachers and singers came together to wash down the incense “owe zum schwoam”.
