One of my wife's hillbilly friend and his girlfriend call each other 'Johann' which they think means stupid. I told her that after 4 years of German in High School, that 'Johann' was just a name, the equivalant of 'John' in English. I then went on to tell her what the equivalant of stupid was and she didn't understand the word so told me to stop being a 'know-it-all'.
