Huh, so in Southern Germany we like to reference Buxtehude as a place that's really far away and probably doesn't exist (even though it is a very real city near Hamburg). ^1

And I just learned that there's also a saying about Buxtehude, that it's the place where dogs bark with their tails. ^2
Apparently, they refer to bells as dogs in their local dialect.

I did also randomly find a reference to Buxtehude being where dogs bark with their ass, in a German text. ^3

So, maybe you guys also just dump on Buxtehude like we do. ๐Ÿ™ƒ
