Once again, I am "king of grammatic confusion". I meant not that I was from the north of Germany, but the word Tchüss is from the north, so I better NOT use it in Bavaria. I'm not sure where my German side came from (Schappert, who married Grimms, who married Bugles, etc). They came over in 1902. My wife's side (übersetzig) is from a little south of Köln...the region around Badorf, including the small town of übersetzig (imagine that! it's near Dattenfeld). This is in Nordrhein-Westhphalen. Engelbert came in the 1850's. McCann is a total anomaly, my father is McCann, his father is McCann and his father is ??????????????????. My grandfather took his name from his mother. Don't know if it was rape or messing around or what, who knows...so Not only am I barely Irish at all, it isn't even my "real" name. Kind of annoying, but I don't lose sleep over it.

But my wife has relatives in the South - not Bavarian, but "Schwabian" country, which includes Stuttgart. I find that South of Frankfurt, it is usual when entering a business or even greeting someone to start with "Gruss Göt", but I don't recall hearing that much North of Hanover. Regional dialects in Germany are as strong and varied, perhaps even more so than we have here in the states. But the more formal "high German" auf wiedersehn is often just shortened to "jüs" as you get closer to the North Sea, especially among family and friends.

Interesting to know the origin, though. Being from the north of Germany, I better not say it in Bavaria without first consulting my friend. They are pretty independent and take words from other parts of Germany (esp. Prussia) VERY seriously. Auf Wiedersehen (official) Chris Werner Fehlauer wrote: Chris - was that "Tschuss" supposed to be the platdeutsch word for goodbye? If so, It is usually pronounced more like "juice", with a hard "J", and comes from the Northern German colloquial language called "plat", and probably has its root in the French word "adieu". You hear it all the time when speaking with the "natives" from Holland over to East of Lubeck. Just a bit of arcane language info....
