In the elections to the word or non-word of the year, it always looks with pleasure over to Austria. “Full holler”, “silent Chancellor” – and this time it was named the “b’soffene G’layer,” the Austrian word of the year. As such, Ex-FPÖ-leader Heinz-Christian Strache had played down its probably from vodka-Redbull-soaked Statements in front of a (supposedly) Russian oligarchs-niece in a relatively known at a later time.
Strache supplied with the between Bregenz and Klagenfurt, in the meantime, winged “zack, zack, zack,” in addition to the “Unspruch of the year”. A described according to the painting, with the help of the then Vice-Chancellor offices the objective of rearrangement in some Editors is quite impressive. But above all, the complex Strache/Gudenus with “Ibiza” provided the Austrians also your “word of the year”. Because the Video I can remember that was on a popular Balearic island.
The second place behind “rental in Ibiza” was the “word of the year” by the way, this year in Switzerland is still relatively unknown term “dough wallets RAID”, by Recalling that the Vienna police discovered last quite successful in a variety of private homes illegal dumplings-factories. The “Unspruch of the year”, in turn, Straches party, friend, former FPÖ-Minister of the interior, Herbert Kickl with the debunking sentence made it “Because I still believe that the principle that the right of the policy has to follow and it is not the policy of the law” also on a second place. Language, as it would formulate, Karl Kraus, is “the mother, not the handmaid of thought.”
“a Typical Austrian belittling”
The Association of Cute and strange law anyway, was once again decisive for the Austrian word-elections. In this connection, reference is made once again to the past euphemisms such as “resident-friendly” (non-word for 2013), or “special construction measure,” (non-word for 2015, for the construction of a security fence on the border to Slovenia). Also in the case of “b’soffene G’layer” was it again a “typical Austrian belittling” to the Jury. In fact, it will go well in the Strache-Video – that again it is pointed out – to “party donations and potentially unlawful Deals”.
As a moral winner of this year’s words of choice Österreichischs Federal President, Alexander Van der Bellen is to be seen. His encouraging statement, “Only courage and a little Confidence, we get it,” was seen by many citizens as a blessing in the midst of the political Ibiza-Chaos-days in may 2019 and it is now completely legal to “quote of the year” (in Germany it had done four years ago, Merkel’s comparable to “We can do this!” to “record of the year”, although clearly controversial in the reception). And for the youth word of the year masses, it has now been named in Austria, the term “brexiten” – for a somewhat cumbersome adoption of certain. You know, Yes. For example, in the question of whether and when Heinz-Christian Strache leaves his party, maybe.
