At one point I was studying German with this rather xenophobic TF from Bremen.
Whenever I responded to him in my characteristically bad German, he would raise
one eyebrow and ask me "Are you speaking Schweizerdütsch again, Häberl?"
Alternations on this theme were "Bavarian," and my personal favorite, "East
German."
