my austrianization continues: today i used the word Sackerl

wolfe silver lore backstory villain origin: 9 years ago when i was visiting vienna as a tourist i asked for a Tüte (bag, in germany german) at the store and the store worker yelled at me "Sackerl!!!" (bag, in austria german)

also during that same visit, i politely asked at a cafe "Darf ich bitte Ihre Toilette benutzen? 🥺" (may i please use your bathroom(, ma'am)?, in german) and the lady yelled at me "Ja, aber SAUBER VERLASSEN!!! 😤😤" (yes, but leave it clean!!!)
