[leËdÉ.hoËzÉn] ; German for leather breeches; singular in German usage: Lederhose) are breeches made of leather; they may be either short or knee-length.ven today, some German and French Boy Scouts wear various forms of lederhosen, although in most cases they are not part of their official uniform. Lederhosen were also worn by Austrian boys from the 1930s to the 1970s. Today they are worn on special occasions, such as a Biergarten or Zeltfest.
By Dave Fox. If you ask nicely, the lady at the tourist information office will pronounce the name of her town. We get asked that about 30 times a day, she told me. Then, patiently, she took a deep breath and recited the correct pronunciation for the longest town name in Europe: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. Originally the town had a shorter, easier to pronounce name: Llanfairpwllgwyngyll. In the 1880s, in a joking attempt to attract tourists, a tailor added the rest of the syllables, bringing the total length to 58 letters, including four letter L's in a row. I asked the lady at the tourist information office.
