GERMAN: der Piefke. ‡
‡) Lit., “That pompous idiot [arsehole]...” NOTE:
Used by Austrians to describe pompous & arrogant German arseholes (for that matter also used by embarrassed
Germans who want to be away from this fool a.s.a.p., similar to a Latin American calling a Yank a “Gringo”
(though with Latin Americans there’s a much longer, much uglier, history involved)... the German equivalent of
“Ugly American”...
