Subject: LL-L"Language use"

Beste Lowlanners,

an LS word is the runner among young people in Germany!

Perhaps some of the Germans among you remember the word 'Heiopei' (nobody
knew/knows its real meaning, not to talk about the origin), born in the
early 70ies and very much 'en vogue' among us youngsters. After a while even
my own father used to use it...

The latest creation I heard from two of my children (26, 27, who both don't
speak LS at all) is *_griesgnaddelig_,* and my inventions on yahoo gave some
hits. It's used for several opportunities in varying meanings. The meaning
could be something like 'grumpy', though I haven't heard it in real LS
before.

A new trend????

Allerbest!

Jonny Meibohm
