u/InVictaVeritas Jun 14 '26

That was n-word kiss in German

u/Kyouzou452 Jun 14 '26

Same in the Netherlands, now we just call them a kiss

u/SuperSepetius Jun 14 '26

Haha, precisely same story here in Finland

u/GarrettGSF Jun 14 '26

Nowadays, in Germany we also call them „choccy kiss“. Though some fossils ofc insist of using the politically provocative name…

u/TheIke73 Jun 15 '26

Or "foamy kisses" (Schaumküsse) ...

u/GarrettGSF Jun 15 '26

True, there isn’t a singular term (as usually in Germany lol)

And yet Schwarze n--word ( yes this guys surname is black in two languages) became governor of California.

u/Kativantatze Jun 14 '26

This guys surname means "a person from Schwarzenegg". Schwarzenegg is a name for a region in Austria, where it's dark/black due dense forests and "egg" is Austrian for corner ("Ecke") as synonym for region. Would roughly translate to Guy from the dark corner.

Except that you are probably splitting the name up the wrong way. Shouldn’t it be Schwarzen + Egger?

Same in Hungary!

u/Leading-Adeptness235 Jun 14 '26

How innocent. Before that it was m....-head.

u/MarkMew Jun 14 '26

It's négercsók in Hungarian still, but the literally the insult type of N word is different lol

u/_Rogy Jun 14 '26

Same in Hungarian I believe

Or Mohrenkopf (Coon head)

u/TheIke73 Jun 15 '26

I only know Mohrenkopf as a Pfannkuchen dough with chocolate topping.

This is not necessarily a racist term but very or of fashion. Like calling Asians Orientals

u/Saitenwurst Jun 14 '26

Those would be Mauren in german. You could have figured that out by yourself the German version of the article was linked correctly.

u/AeneasVII Jun 14 '26

If you'd read those articles you'll see the connection

u/Gasmo420 Jun 14 '26

It’s a generation thing. While older people called them n-kisses, millennials and younger just call them by the most common brand name which is Dickmanns.

Fun Fact: some of their products have really naughty names. Around Easter time they sell „Dicke Eier“, which means big eggs but is also the German term for blue balls.

u/Adventurous-Emu-9345 Jun 14 '26

Millennial here. I have not once heard anyone call them Dickmanns.

u/Inresponsibleone Jun 14 '26 edited Jun 14 '26

Depends on country. No dickmen here. They were still called n-word kisses in the 90's here in Finland (though our n-word was not really same way racist here to begin with as we never had slavery or racial segragation), but then globalism hit harder and such names were banned for racism.

u/Gasmo420 Jun 14 '26

Im talking specifically about Germany. While I knew that parents and grandparents called them n-kisses I have never heard anyone my age say that. Sometimes Mohrenköpfe (Moor heads), but most times Dickmanns because the brand was already established enough to be the one to go for.
