<div style="text-align:left">For my part, I
would report that the dogs down our way are still urged to the chase, or
the fight, with the word 'Sa!' the preliminary alert as it were is to say 'sssk,
sssk, sssk,' & then, 'Sa!'</div>
<div style="text-align:left">So universal is this
cry some rural areas that even dogs not actually deliberately schooled
to it themselves will respond to the same.</div>

<b>Wunderwuzzi</b>, ist eine Bezeichnung für eine Person, die sich durch
zahlreiche Begabungen auszeichnet. Ein Multitalent bzw. Alleskönner.Das Wort ist
im 18. Jahrhundert entstanden. Es ist eine Hypostasierung des Zurufs „tausend sa
sa!“, einer übertriebenen Steigerung von „sa sa!“. „Sa Sa“ wurde als Hetzruf für
Hunde verwendet (vermutlich aus frz. ça = das). Somit könnte man Tausendsassa
übersetzen mit: "Tausend dies und das."<br></div><div style="text-align:left">Your translation:</div><div style="text-align:left"> </div></blockquote>
