Beer sulfur
In student associations , beer sulfur , beer mimicry or fuxenulk is understood to be a sketch that one or more association members hold in a pub .
Usually, participants in a pub are obliged by the presidium at the pub to give a humorous lecture on a given topic after a short preparation period. For certain rituals, such as a fire , beer sulfur is prepared long before the pub.
Sigmund Freud wrote about the beer sulfur in his study Der Witz and its relation to the unconscious :
“With the cheerful nonsense of the beer sulfur, the student tries to save the pleasure from the freedom of thought, which he is losing more and more through the training of the college. […] »Beer sulfur« and » Kneipzeitung « bear witness in their name to the fact that the criticism that has suppressed the desire for nonsense has already become so strong that it cannot be temporarily pushed aside without toxic aids. "
The term beer sulfur tends to appear more in non-beating Austrian connections, otherwise the expression beer mimic is more common.
