Naughty like Oskar
Naughty like Oskar , derived from this also Stolz like Oskar , is a comparative expression that is widespread, especially in central and northeastern Germany .
history
An early mention of this idiom can be found in the Free German School Newspaper , No. 39, 6th year
The expression can be found in 1918 in Ludwig Thomas Altaich , Chapter Eight: How he used it, cheeky like Oskar! which means that a derivation from real or fictional people of the 20th century seems impossible. However, since it is considered in the Baden dictionary as already documented for 1917 in Baden-Baden , a derivation by Ludwig Thoma himself is also excluded.
The phrase appears as the book title in:
