Swabian salute : ウィキペディア英語版 | Swabian salute
The phrase Swabian salute (in German ''schwäbischer Gruß'', m.) is a partly humorous, partly euphemistic reference to the expression "''Leck mich am Arsch''" ("kiss my arse", but literally "lick me in/on the arse") which is a common profanity. == Origin == Perhaps the idea which is expressed in the literal meaning goes back to ancient magic conceptions that turning the bare bottom towards a danger or unwanted person (a demon, a witch, a curse) will work as a protection spell. Also, a reference to the feudal homage kiss could be recognized. Stone depictions of this act can be found on gates and walls of medieval buildings such as castles, town fortifications, monasteries and even churches in south Germany (not limited to Swabia), Austria, eastern France and some other places in Spain and Italy.
