Švaba

An old term given to Germans used by people in ex-Yugoslavia countries.

The term appeared somewhere in 19th and 20th century but got really used during 1940's when Yugoslavia was attacked and under German occupation.

Originally it was a derogatory term/slur and while it is still widely used today it's mainly because of habit not because the Balkan Slavs would hate German people.

The term Švaba/Švabo (Schwaba) came from a mixture of "Bubašvaba" (cockroach in serbo-croatian) and the southwestern region in Germany named Swabia.

WW2 example:
Yugoslav 1: Da li si ti čuo, da su nas Švabi napali? (Have you heard? Švabs have attacked us).

Yugoslav 2: Jebeni švabi, majki mi (Fucking švabs, I swear to God)

Modern example:
Serbian: Last month I went to Germany.
Croatian: Cool. How was it?
Serbian: Not bad. If we compare how we have it to how the Švaba have it, then I gotta say that Švabi have it a lot better and easier than we do.

Sabanated

Proper verb. Synoymous with "terminated". It is what happens to formerly popular and successful college football coaches after particularly embarrassing or multiple losses to coach Nick Saban and and his team, the Crimson Tide of the University of Alabama. The term applies whether the affected coach is fired in shame, or is allowed to step down and maintain a degree of dignity.

Who do you think will be the next great coach to get "Sabanated" and leave the SEC for good?
