Kipparsch

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kipparsch is the outdated, but still in use in the Rhenish language , term for a sore rubbed spot ( wolf , intertrigo ) in the anal fold .

The word was already known in the Central German or Middle Low German language between 1340 and 1424 as kipars and was initially used in the cavalry , since inexperienced and insecure riders often tilt back and forth in the saddle and get sore after a while.

In some dialects of the Rhineland (mainly in the western part of North Rhine-Westphalia ) the term is still used in colloquial language and in a figurative sense. Known phrases include taking a Kipparsch work , to run a Kipparsch or look for a Kipparsch for tedious, often unnecessary or fruitless activities.
