Schnickelfritz

The word "schnickelfritz" is a term of endearment of uncertain Germanic origin. It means something akin to 'rascal', 'scamp', or 'little chatterbox'. The word is usually used with children, but can also be used between others who are close with each other.

Also, Schnickel Fritz is a folklore character. Fritz was a rascally little boy. He also is mentioned in the Schnitzelbank song. (Google the song...I'm not chronicling it here.)

Johnny just played a trick on me and made me look silly; what a schnickelfritz!

To a child: Hurry and put your shoes on, Schnickelfritz!
