Yes! As is 'Servus', I just make a point of saying 'Hallo' instead.

A friend of my wife's 2nd half is German, from the north. When he travels back up north to visit the parents he puts special emphasis on "Grüß Gott", drives them mad!

Bugger. Does this mean I need to buy a new duden? Or shall I just download it to my kindle?

Exporting to Germany

English swear word 's***storm' enters German dictionary after gaining popularity during the eurozone crisis | Mail Online

The swear word 's***storm' has been entered into the German equivalent of the Oxford English Dictionary after gaining popularity during the eurozone crisis.

Duden said it was reflecting the common use of the word among Germans, including even Chancellor Angela Merkel who said it during a public meeting recently.

The phrase is used to donate a public outcry, particularly one that gains pace on the internet.

The online version of Duden defines the word as: 'Noun, masculine – a storm of protest in a communications medium of the internet, which is associated in part with insulting remarks.'
