I've told this before, but there's a great line in 10 Things I Hate About You. Julia Stiles flashes a school-teacher to let her boyfriend (Heath Ledger) sneak out of detention. Later he asks how he did it:
Incidentally Wolfram, rumours are in St Kilda they have an evening called 'Schnitz and Titz', featuring topless waitresses selling schnitzel, and drag queens. Now there's Germanic tradition for you!
Aber ze big problem iz zat, natürlich, most of ze "tits" are on ze men in lederhosen. Hawhawhaw, Fritzi's bitzi sometimes hang so low zey vind up in ze beer stein! Hehehehe.
But zis "Schnitz und Titz" you tell about sounds like such fun! Do zey haff also ze brass band?
Good lord no! Not since we wolloped Jerry soundly back in '45 have they dared to even pun on the Blitz. They tried pun or two times to revive the old fighting spirit, but it had gone on holidays. Saw it on the Riviera myself.

One would presume so, and also drag queen races.
I'd imagine that in fine Germanic tradition - once every year or so - they would hold a night for the English. And call it the 'Fritz Blitz'.

Eat knuckle, Fritz!
