Yeah, I found several words in an online dictionary:
Banane=Affenkipferl
Mund=Babaletscn
I hope I got it the right way.

Hi everyone!
Wow, where did you get this stuff ^^? – What a prejudice

I agree with you, there are many differences between Austrian German and Standard German.
The problem is that many Germans take prejudices for granted!

But that's just not the truth.

Only in some parts of Austria people speak like that.
Such as Tirol and Vorarlberg.

I guess you won't believe me if I tell you that I sometimes don't understand what other Austrians from other regions say when I speak to them.

But, to be honest, I kinda like these strange words.
Ever heard of Fetznschädl, Herzkasperl or – and this is my favorite –Schneebrunza.

But I have one to ask you, Alex.
What has your question lost in this thread? I never wrote anything German which could give you a reason to make fun of Austrian German. – Please don't misunderstand me!

Peace,
snarly!

Oh, I did not mean to offend you.
As you said let's talk about the World Cup or what's left of it.

No Alex, you didn't offend me.
I just made my point about Austrian German.

By the way, when you're talking of idioms, have you ever heard the idiom "to don't care tuppence (about sth.)"? Or is it old?

Hello ibex,

I have never heard of that. According to the following link it is old-fashioned.
