>That was a new one for me! However, when I looked for confirmation, Urban >Dictionary told me that a schleppi is a "dodgy partygoer" (???)
>I did encounter schlepptop though, which has even better ring. I'm seriously off-topic here, but the word 'schleppen' is actually a German verb meaning to carry something extremely heavy. I have encountered the word 'schleppen' in English a number of times, always in the context of carrying heavy things. And as the blasted things are so heavy, they're colloquially refered to (in German) as Schlepptops or Schleppis. :-) I wouldn't know about the partygoer, though....
