Why'd we stop calling them "German" Browns?
 
Hi All,

When I was a kid, we always referred to Brown trout
as "German" Browns. I have not heard that expression
in years. Just out of curiosity, why'd we stop calling
the "German" Browns and now just call them "Browns"?

"Early stocking efforts in the United States used fish taken from
Scotland and Germany. The Loch Leven strain is more often found in the
western United States, while the "German brown" is found more toward
the Midwest and East."

Why'd we stop calling them "German" Browns?
 
Because when they moved to St. Louis, they became the St. Louis Browns.
Then they moved to Baltimore and became the Baltimore Orioles. Some
of them, however, moved to Cleveland. You can imagine what happened.

Very good.
Actually the faux language is Central Jersey Playground "Dutch,"
spoken by all us kids endlessly in the human melange that was post war
poor working class Central Jersey. We had allot of Germans in my
neighborhood and after the war (WWII) we had lots of German orphan
kids come to live with relatives. A hard lot those poor *******s were.
Of course we "real American" kids were very kind to these kids. Not.
We were mostly little ****s.

Ive also lost my faux Hungarian. After the '56 revolt we got 50k
Hungarian refugee freedom fighters as J&J had previously used
Hungarians as strike breakers. My brother is half Hungarian. Now all
i remember is "Magyar Bolt" and chicken paprikash (SP?)

And "Schiller Browns" referrs to the poet/philosopher Friedrich
Schiller, examplar of high German intellectual culture. So Schiller
Brown might be a better name for a fish that can be very wary and

neighborhood and after the war (WWII) we had lots of German orphan
kids come to live with relatives. A hard lot those poor *******s were.

We were mostly little ****s.


Ive also lost my faux Hungarian. *After the '56 revolt we got 50k
Hungarian refugee freedom fighters as J&J had previously used
Hungarians as strike breakers. My brother is half Hungarian. *Now all
i remember is "Magyar Bolt" *and chicken paprikash (SP?)
