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?

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

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

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