JW, tell you a funny story...
I was in Munchen two summers ago and buying some flowers for my cousin (she's hot). I was standing at the cash register and this woman says to me "Schond". Well, I didn't know what it meant, so I looked in my dicionary and saw "schund".
If I am not mistaken, "schond" means beautiful, while "schund" means disgusting.
I said "NICHT SCHUND!" and she said "nicht, nicht..shooooooooooooond" while pointing to her lips in reference to her pronunciation of the word. They sure sound the same to an untrained ear.
Now, let's hope that you are not from the north! LOL, my relatives think that Bavaria is the greatest place on earth, but 5 steps out of Bavaria and you have stepped into a totally different country.
