Do you think there might be some failings of the Swiss that aren't attributable to "those Yugos"?
I can't speak for him, but my money is on irony.

I don't think so. I can find "Einen schönen Tag noch" in vacation diaries written by my cousins and myself at our grandparents' home in the early 'sixties. You know that in those years there were way too few people from Yugoslavia in Switzerland to have any impact on the language, let alone such a wide-spread one.
Right you are in a way, but this "noch" became the plague really in the late 70ies and in the 80ies, exactly when the YU-folks arrived

Shoenen Tag noch , they say it when still time in that day and not soon it become evening , so it is like to say it still enough time at the day to have good time , you can not say Schonen tag noch when it is soon abend

and the same when you say Shonen abend noch , you say it at the beginning of the abend and not when it is to late
"Non än Schöne" is my choice if ....
