They frequently mention (and mock as unintelligible and dialect) all the other regional speeches, most especially the Bavarian accent (and Berlin, of course).

My German skillz are from the Köln/Bonn area, which is not too far off from the Ruhrgebiet dialect. And I work closely with a dude from Dortmund and another from Gelsenkirchen. They really do talk like that...which I love to listen to, but alienates (or at least identifies them to) all the Bavarians (hauptsächlich Franken und Oberpfälzer) I typically work with.

They do have "das Herz auf dem rechten Fleck". But honestly you cannot pay me enough money to live there. Schön is dat wirklich nicht (aber woanders is auch Scheiße).<br /> <br /> Thanks for all the great blogs in 2008. Komm gut ins neue Jahr!
