“Another gherkin for me, please…” Excuse me, I’m just practicing phrases to use in Vienna for Euro 2008, thanks to a guide for visitors who wish to try the local dialect.
Our story says the guide helps with ordering Austrian cuisine, flirting with local women, and other tourist situations. I hope the gherkin line is under food rather than flirting, because not all chicks would consider it a turn-on.
From the looks of the phrases they chose to include, those “wild and crazy guys” have already booked their room.
Here are some examples, and no, I swear am NOT making these up:
“We’re real party animals out on the town!”
“Your body is so hot it makes me crazy!”
“Greetings, hot kitten!”
“Are you crazy? Are you blind? Can’t you hear?”
“I’m getting totally wasted!”
And the ultimate steamy pickup line no hot chick can resist: “I HAVE THE RUNS!”

I want to go there just to tell them that I hate their sausages…
- Posted by KK,
You should go there so you can learn how Americans have made Vienna’s wonderful, tasty, foot-long weinerwurstel suasages into canned, potted meat sausagelets to be righteously despised. The best are served right on the street by vendors who slather delicious senf on the brodchen. Mmmmm.
Your teutonic region exploring friend,
