Arschgeige, German, noun, literally “butt violin,” derogatory term for an offensively annoying person.

Three very common Indonesian words are bawa, bahwa and bawah, each one pronounced slightly differently. They mean bring, that and lower.

Like the rest of the Swiss, I am neutral: I am happy to park anyone’s money in a numbered bank account and sell arms to all sides, but I prefer not to take part in the actual shooting bit. 😆
