The more friendly version is just "Ösi" though

Ah Yes, thanks for correcting that. Indeed, Ösi is friendly and my standard description for Germans east of Bavaria.Do you know this ugly joke BTW? : The Bavarian is the thing halfway between an Austrian and a human?

Hitler's enjoyed his greatest popularity in Bavaria, I doubt it would have been this way if he had ridiculed brown eyed/haired ppl.Richard Walter Darré and his Nordicism had great influence within some SS circles, but not so much in public.

The fact we do not have any nationalism at all is unfortunate - I am no socialist myself, but I am well aware anyone opposing liberal economics and open-market policy is labelled socialist these days...

It seems like. I forgot to mention: A Norwegian friend told me he missed the right way during his Denmark trip and asked an elderly Danish women for the right way - she replied she won't tell a Swede. When he said he was Norwegian she suddelny became friendly, explained the way and even donated him a banknote.How do Spanish behave if a Portugese asks for the right way?
