Tangentially, I recently learned about the Austrian insult for (northern) Germans "marmeladinger" (marmelade-eater?). https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmeladinge

- cptwunderlich 7y agoIronically, the historically more "Austrian" expression "Konfitüre" hast become so rare and "Marmelade" so Common, that many Austrians think the former might be the German term. So the insult is out of fashion too. Piefke would be the go-to nowadays :) And "Marmelade" to means jam in general.
