But these are very local/personal and not commonplace. Although, sometimes words like "Tschüssi" and later "TSchüssikowksi" spread, even if they are originally not really commonplace.
Apr 29, 2018 at 19:02 comment added Rudy Velthuis I have heard, jokingly, Schulligung, but that was not meant seriously anyway. I don't think there is an abbreviation except the increasingly popular Sorry, which has been adopted by some people here.

Mar 1, 2012 at 10:34 comment added CraigTP @userunknown - I don't expect you to know what I heard (and I probably misheard it anyway) but the actual question is not based upon guessing what I heard but to ask if there is a legitimate abbreviation of the word Entschuldigung in common usage. No guessing required!
Mar 1, 2012 at 8:50 comment added user unknown Sounds like a guessing game. How should we know what you have heard?
Mar 1, 2012 at 7:52 comment added user unknown @MartyGreen: So 4 syllables are absurdly long, but 3 syllables are fine? Do you have an objective measurement to make such assertions?
Feb 29, 2012 at 22:23 comment added Marty Green Yes, it's an absurdly long way to say "excuse me". When I was learning conversational Yiddish I asked if I could just say "shuldig" but people found that idea comical. We also have a Semitic equivalent though, "sei mir moykhal (lit. "be me forgiving...".
