(I have no knowledge about it's usage in Switzerland.) The Austrian noun with the same meaning as Penner is Sandler, and the related verb is sandeln which means to dawdle, to loiter." It's original meaning was *to spread/strew sand (German: Sand streuen). In brick factories you had to strew sand into the models for the bricks, and they gave this job to those people who could not be used for any other job. | |

| Jan 19, 2016 at 13:43 | comment | added | Iris | "Penner" is also a family name and in some age groups it is common for guys to call each other by their family names. So it can be a nickname, too, in rare occations. I once knew a guy who was called Penner by everyone and (in most cases) it was not meant disparaging | |

| Jan 18, 2016 at 8:18 | comment | added | Crissov | Note that outdated youth slang term Penne for ‘school’ is usually not associated with Penner, neither when used as an insult nor for homeless people. The imported Italian name for pasta of a certain form, e.g. Penne Rigate, is completely unrelated. | |
