I thought Caesar referred to us as the "Volcae"?-- Is that what you mean? The Germans referred to us as "WALHA"-- the etymology of the actual word "Welsche"-- later the "Welsh", meaning "Outsider", "Foreigner", "Alien", etc. The Jews called the new Romano-Teutonic tribe "Goy Gadol"-- the original Gauls..
Haha! Culturally schizo is right!-- But both cultures eat alot of similar food-- despite what Anja said in her interview.. Alot of blood pudding, sausage, cheese, cawl, even bara brith. We both drink alot of lager too.. We both talk like were hacking-up our lungs when we converse-- ever hear a gog and a kraut speak? There's alot of "Ccchhhhh-cchhhhhh- Ccchhhh" going on!
Yes, I've heard that about the derivation of "Welsh," but to make you even more culturally schizo than you already are, the derivation of the word "German" is a Celt/Gaul word which meant "men who shout", which Julius Caeser adopted and then went down in Roman custom and documentation and history.
... She's got the right idea about David Hasselhoff at least!
This probably wouldn't interest too many people here.. But it's interesting to me, because my grandfather Hans Diedrich Buchner comes from Stuttgart.. Yes, I'm not just a GOG-- I'm part KRAUT as well.. So I have to guttural-speaking cultures to contend with-- boohoo!! It's interesting though because I never new Pontypridd and Stuttgart were twin towns.. I'm what you can call, Ellmynwr-Cymreig.. Also the word for 'Wales' comes from Germany-- the first Gaulish tribe called "WALHA" meaning "foreigner" or "outsider" (makes sense, go figure).. Also the floral emblem for the Welsh Rugby Union is the "Ich Diene", which means "to serve".. Why German is used in that case, I'm not too sure..
