Usage notes

[edit]
  • The noun as such is restricted to northern Germany (or parts thereof) and may be unintelligible to speakers elsewhere. However, the idiomatic phrase in die Puschen kommen (to get started, to hurry up) has spread beyond this area and is usually at least understood in central and southern Germany.
