I’ve eaten a lot of pastries that could be called “bad boys.” That is all.

Gringo, you weren’t too far off. Maybe it did from the conjugation of naughty boy.

Spitzbub Spitzbub m , Spitzbube Spitzbube m , Spitzbübin Spitzbübin f , -, -nen
old villain, rogue
dial inf (=Schlingel) scamp inf , scallywag inf

Interesting name for a tart, anyway.

straight across translation is `horny boy`… spitz can refer to horny, also can be summit.. Bübe is a little boy….. with that its `summit boy`…appropriate don`t you think?

Not to change the subject, but anyone care to translate “spitzbube?”

hehehehehe Gilles is not only a stellar skier but also a religion expert :angel:

AFAIK the roman catholic is the official religion also in italy, which explains a lot of the huge problems this country has….. :whistle:
