A humorous Austrian slang term describing a person who appears dazed, slow, or mentally foggy — like someone who’s high, but isn’t. The word literally means “air-smoked,” a twist on the Austrian dialect term g'selcht (smoked meat), implying someone’s brain has been "smoked" by air alone.
Origin:
Derived from Austrian dialect. Refers to the “Luftg’selchter Pfarrer von St. Thomas am Blasenstein” — a mummified priest on display in Upper Austria. The term playfully evolved to describe the zombified state of being slow and mentally absent, minus any substances.
