Bützchen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bützchen ( also: Bützje or Bützche , verb Bützen ) denotes diminutive one administered with closed lips kiss . The Duden describes the term as " Rhenish " from bützen for "kiss", late Middle High German butzen  = to bump, to Middle High German bōʒen, cf. Butzen and has performed it since 1973.

In the Rhineland , especially in Kölschen , the term is used increasingly during the annual carnival session. Especially during the Cologne Carnival , Bützchen are distributed on numerous occasions, for example from the floats of the carnival parades or at the women's carnival . The WDR called in his "fun Alphabet Carnival" Bützen as one of the most popular rituals in the carnival: "Gebützt is with pursed lips on the cheek. The real Bützje is always meant to be friendly and an expression of carnival joy and happiness and should not be confused with other desires. "

In 1880, the German dictionary of proverbs by Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Wander cited the Cologne proverb “Today bützen and licking, tomorrow with clubs and sticks” and explained bützen with “kisses, from the Spanish buz, the kiss, so also hacer el buz, den Make court, love. From the Middle High German bôzen, to push, to knock. "As further proverbs for Bützchen were given:

“1) Ae Bützche without bat it like an egg without salt. (Düren.) 2) A Bützchen en Ehre can chimp nummes. (Cologne.) - Firmenich, 475, 212. "
