Include a sentence demonstrating use. Here is my one of my favourites:

Stauffacher - used to indicate that some person at some distance from oneself (and therefore has to be shouted very loudley) has committed some sort of sinful act:

"Oy, Stauffacher! No!"

How about "I'd like to kick their Buttes" ? (Canton Neuchatel)

Stauffacher for me is an impolite phrase for someone who causes a traffic jam.

(for non German speakers, Stau = traffic jam).

I always got a kick out of "Gotthard" and "Wankdorf"...not exactly on topic, but the combination works well.

I'm reminded of when I was driving my now (again) happily married father near our home in Wallis.

It was his first visit to Switzerland and we happened to drive through Bitsch. I said, thinking myself a bit humourous, 'Now you can say you've been to Bitsch, Dad.'

He replied, 'I've been there twice already.'

"Where did you buy that lovely pot?"
"Just outside Winterthur. It's a Töss pot..."

Schwamendingen: Drunken inappropriate grinding/dancing with a member of the opposite sex that has no interest in you.


"I was out at Club Q last night and this guy was schwamendingen me like no tomorrow. I had to go to the bathroom just to get him away from me."

Bubikon:
It's just too easy.

Schlieren. Can't say it without sounding drunk... Try it.

That bloke was a right Winkel.

There's a municipality in the district of Albula in the canton of Graubuenden which lies on the road to the Julier pass, between Tiefencastel and Savognin.
It has 215 inhabitants.

It's name? I couldn't possibly say in public...



(Thx, Wikipedia)

Strangely enough, its name rhymes with Fotze .

Drove through "Moron" on the way back from Lac du Morat to Basel at the weekend

"Schsh!"

I kid you not, there's a village called Schsh in southeastern Switzerland.

Did you see the tour de moron?

I live outside of Geneva in the village of Mies (pronounced *me* )

This was great fun ( gawd, how boring am I ) with my family back in the states, especially for that brief period when I worked for the World Health Org.

"where do you live"
me
ok, ok...where do you work
WHO

(shades of Abbot and Costello )

I suppose you have to feel sorry for those who come from Töss -

"Do you know Dave?"
"Ah - yes, he's a Tösser isn't he?"

Can you recommend a Gynacologist ?

Why not try Hans Kunz from Künten in Aargau ?

Sort-of on the subject... I found this in an ancient viral email.
