re: #83 Vicious Piebola

Backpfeifengesicht=literally, “Fart Face”

I don’t speak German, but this seems dubious to me. I know pfeifen means to pipe or whistle, but the online dictionaries all translate Backpfeife as a dialectical term for “a slap in the face.” The link I posted earlier says this:

The origin of the word is unclear, but Backpfeife was used in northern Germany throughout the 19th century and comes from Backe (“cheek”) and Pfeife (“whistle”) - and basically means “a slap that whooshes/whistles along the cheek”.
