And it would be good for people to work out what it means by themselves 
Hint. It's got to do with a babies dummy!

Quite why you pursue this one-man crusade to try and force it on everyone I don't know, but if you were actually interested in being helpful to wannabe Swiss German speakers, then a translation and an explanation would be very welcome.

Da hat es mir den Nuggi rausgejagt
Nuggi= dummy. So surprised that the dummy flew out of his mouth https://www.tagesanzeiger.ch/schweiz...story/18881957 |

| Quote: | | | | | If someone isn't interested in learning Swiss German, he probably wouldn't be interested in this thread either. | | | | | Yes. For those interested in Swiss-German, and specifically in Züridütsch, here's a radio programme (SRF, 2013), called " Hans was Heiri?" about the author Viktor Schobinger. https://www.srf.ch/sendungen/kultur-...hans-was-heiri
He has self-published several novels, a host of books on language, and - after 35 years of research - a Dictionary of Synonyms in Züridütsch. Here's his website: http://www.zuerituetsch.ch/langbiografii.html |

Not providing a translation is typical omtstat ****-wad behaviour.
