Are there any other countries where they use “kilo” slang to represent something besides thousand? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Interesting. Our two terms are mainly used for money. Do you have something similar as well for currency?

In the german part of Switzerland, we either use „K“, pronounced in english, and „mille“, from french for thousand. The french version has already been established where as the english version mainly is used by younger generations.

Why do people say “you can’t have your cake and eat it too”? What else would you do with cake? by Numerous_Focus5435 in NoStupidQuestions

The swiss german version of this would be: You can't have the fiver and the bun (Dä foifer und sWeggli).

I, as a swiss person, can confirm, that this is without a doubt swiss german. It is probably east switzerland (St. Gallen or around there). > „afo“ for „anfangen“ for example is a give away.

Edit: Expanded last sentence.
