I am sorry that my "German" English does not allow to translate "PIKSIASS
HOELZ" appropiately.
Because my late wife was from Vienna I know that the nickname has no
negative meaning, rather the opposite.
Further I forgot the oe, ae, ue (The umlaut) problem: so I try in one more
time.
"pik" very (in the sense "so sweet that it sticks", similar to sticker=)
"siass" (Viennese dialect, engl. = sweet, german = suess)
"Holz" = wood
"HOELZL" @-----.
