Idioms
A number of idioms have emerged from the game of Skat, which have found their way into everyday German. The situation of the hindquarters and its advantage of influencing the trick by playing an important card play a major role:
- “ To be in the hindquarters, to sit” : to be able to act and express oneself last and with knowledge of what has gone before.
- “To have something up your sleeve, to hold something , to have something ” : to have something ready for a specific purpose, but still hold it back in order to apply it surprisingly at the appropriate time (and thus play a trump card).
