Stupid

The wave kid from Kenzingen carries a Saubloder

Blåder ['blɒ: dər] (so Central Swabian, East Swabian also Bloadr) means in Swabian - Alemannic the "urinary bladder of humans and animals", as well as blisters on the skin, z. B. Burn blisters. The Swabian "Blåder" is related to the equivalent English "bladder".

In Alemannic carnival custom of a Saublåder is on a wooden stick or ox-tail ( penis of a young bull ) fixed and relocations therefore particularly young women affected (not beaten). Before Lent, pig bladders were abundant due to increased slaughter. The Saublåder is a symbol of carnality, beating as a symbolic act of fertility and the "empty shell" as a symbol for the transience of everything earthly. At the same time, the empty bubble is an image of the fool himself ( French fou and English fool “fool” are derived from the Latin follis “empty sack”).

From this symbol for fertility and carnality, inflatedness, Blåder developed as a crude Swabian swear word for a woman who was perceived as stupid or stupid.
