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.

(Serbo-Croatian, n.) - "Švabo" was first a mean word for Danube Swabians—Germans in old Yugoslavia from 1945-1992. Now, it's used to call out people of Balkan descent in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland, especially if they seem well-off.

The term started as a dig at the Danube Swabians for being too fancy due to their German connection. Most got kicked out during World War 2 and when Yugoslavia formed. After Yugoslavia broke up in 1992, "Švabo" started including Germans with Balkan roots. It mixes history, hard feelings, and culture clashes.

Today, saying "Švabo" usually isn't nice. It often comes from jealousy of Germany's good life compared to the Balkans. This is strong in summer when Balkan-origin folks in Germany go back to their home countries. The word shows tension and inequality feelings, blending history, culture, and money stuff.
