TABER, AB
Several years ago, the small Mennonite town is Taber drew headlines across the globe for banning swearing. Haven’t heard from them lately? Well, that’s because local teens hanging out in parking lots have switched entirely to Low German profanity.
“Diewel! Would you look at that Pontiac?” proclaimed young Ernie Fehr. “Dietschlaunt! That’s a fine looking TransAm!”
The new mysterious curse words have baffled local law enforcement.
“The cops don’t know Waut de Kucuck we’re saying,” said Fehr. “Donna! We’re sure keeping them in the dark.”
Only one fine has been handed out since the teens switched to Low German.
“Apparently they don’t like to be called a Schwaa,” said Fehr, “but I told him it’s better than a Schinda.”
The teens are apparently getting away with it since all the Low German swears don’t make any sense when translated into English.
