Word of the day: arschgewei

My first week in Switzerland I made it a point to learn what I call table German- vocabulary necessary for feeding yourself at dinner.

This past week I have moved onto bar-German. While discussing trends in tattoos with the model we discovered a common theme in tattoos for American and Swiss females. The affectionately labeled American Tramp Stamp is called the Arschgewei in Swiss German meaning butt antler. I'm sorry, this was just too hilarious of a term to not publish.
