Gift
Care is required with the German word Gift, a false friend which corresponds to the English poison rather than gift or present. So the sentence Wegen der Mäuse haben wir Gift ausgelegt means We put poison down for the mice.
The English gift, on the other hand, has the German equivalent Geschenk. So the sentence I got a really nice gift for my birthday can be rendered as Zu meinem Geburtstag habe ich ein besonders schönes Geschenk bekommen.
Ossi /Wessi
Ossi is an informal term used by western Germans to refer to people from the former GDR, whereas Wessi is used by eastern Germans to refer to people from the West. In the aftermath of reunification, both terms had very negative connotations and expressed the resentment felt by both groups towards each other. More recently, they have started to lose their offensiveness, reflecting the fact that Germans increasingly see themselves as a single nation again.
