Usage notes edit

  • In Southern Germany, there is considerable overlap with German gescheit in the sense of clever, but the Bavarian term has much broader meaning, in that it is also used to imply a sense of orderliness and correctness. In Bavaria, it is common to see the Bavarian spelling of this word used in advertising and official messaging, even in large cities like Munich, where the Münchner Verkehrs- und Tarifverbund (the local public transit concern), for example, advertises a program called "Gscheid mobil."[2]
