Etymology

    • 1910, “Et Stina muss ’ne Mann han”, Willi Ostermann (lyrics), Emil Palm (music)‎performed by Bläck Fööss, published 1985:
      Frau Dänz, die hät e Döchterche, e Kind, wat Stina heisch,
      Dat hät för singe Knochebau am Liev zo winnig Fleisch.
      Met einem Woot, et es su schön, wann et em Feld deit stonn,
      Die Mösche dann vör luuter Angs nit aan der Haver jonn.
      Mrs Dänz has a daughter, a girl whose name is Stina,
      Who hasn’t got enough flesh on her body compared to her bone structure.
      In a word, she’s so beautiful that when she’s standing in a field,
      The sparrows won’t touch the oats for sheer fright.
