leckerfritzig

German. de.wikt has some Usenet cites. Glossed as "yummy" but that doesn't seem to fit. – Jberkel 08:34, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

It appears to be borrowed from Low German, where it may mean tasty.^[1] The German Wiktionary glosses it as begierig (“eager”), which fits the citations given there. A German–Dutch dictionary translates it as nieuwsgierig (“curious, inquisitive”), but that does not seem to fit any actual uses.  --Lambiam 11:23, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

Somebody was bad at glossing, but I see two meanings used on the web: 1. begierig, appetent, or fond of sweets right now or as a habit 2. appealing to taste (also figuratively); this is here apparent: “Es geht darum zu prüfen, wieviel Interesse die Mitglieder an der "Lösung" haben und diese leckerfritzig zu machen.” (The word is not used in Fay Freak's originally Low German region.)

RFV-resolved: I have removed the original gloss and added glosses as in my first answer. Fay Freak (talk) 21:14, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
