“Hier in Bayern gibt’s kein Rasenhass, du Saupreiss, du.”
That one I know - never heard the other.
Piefke?
“etzat ma klur.”
;)
I always thought that they spoke POCKistani.
I think the Austrians may use Piefke for all Germans. Saupreiß is used more by the Bavarians.

You forgot Chicago community organizer thug, i.e., rabble-rouser!
RE: “I failed to mention that he is a perfect representative of those who voted for him”

The perfect rep for most of them, yes! And the rest who voted for the fraud, who probably do know better than to think there is an Austrian language, will sweep such gaffes away the same way they dismissed Clinton’s Oval Office frolicking.
I wish Zero would go to Switzerland and mention that he does not speak “Swiss.” heh heh......
damn it. pic doesn´t work :-( funny t-shirts who say there are no kangoroos here in austria.
RE: “Everyone knows that the Austrians speak Australian! —————— good one!”

Funny — many years ago my father, who took a business trip to Austria, had a young, uninformed secretary who told people who called in his absence that he was “in Europe, in AUSTRALIA.” hahahahaha

"I don't know what the term is in Austrian." Snarf. lol
See? Just as someone worldy-wise once told the rest of us, this is exactly why it is important for Americans to learn to speak other countries' languages. It is unfortunate for him that the public schools he attended did not ensure that he was fluent in Austrian prior to graduation. /s
He’ll probably never go to Isreal. He doesn’t speak Jew.
A comic once joked about Dan Quayle saying he did not speak Latin when visiting Latin America, but it was a joke and not a fact. Regardless, the media reported that as a fact hundreds of times over many many years.

OMW! I wondered about that. The first time I heard that tale was last week; it was in a clue on Jeopardy and reported as fact.
C’mon now...think about it...”Toy Story”...Mr. Potatohead... the similarities are striking...
But “Scheisskopf”...hmm...yeah, I guess I can see that too...
Maybe “der grosse bescheuert scheisskopf”
Give the guy a break, maybe he meant Australian?
Wiktionary.de gives several theories, the first of which is that the name does indeed come from an archaic form of "eastern empire" :
Herkunft:
[1] um 996 n. Chr. als Ostarrîchi bezeichnet, was sich wahrscheinlich aus der damaligen Bezeichnung für Osten und dem Begriff für eingegrenztes Gebiet (-rîchi) ableitet. Es gibt auch Theorien, dass sich der Name Österreichs von dem Namen Ostara, der germanischen Göttin des Frühlings und der Morgenröte (Osten) ableitet oder aber slawischen Ursprungs ostarik, ostrik - Spitzberg ist.
