GUEST,MISch | 'Backfisch' -- was ist das ? (27) | RE: 'Backfisch' -- was ist das ? | 03 Jan 19 |
Today, 'Backfisch' is basically only used to describe fish fried in some kind of batter. My granny (born in 1912) on the other hand still used it to refer to teenage girls, usually rather silly ones. Lydia in Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" would be a good example for that kind of Backfisch. |
