Krout

Krout is the spelling variant of "kraut" as favoured by TT forum member don_riina.

He gives explanations for his usage here: krout vs. kraut and here: krout like snout and trout.

This spelling is wrong, of course. The correct version is "kraut".

As Small Town Boy points out:

"We've had this discussion before, but even after all these years you're still spelling "Kraut" incorrectly. Firstly it needs a capital K in the same way that Bolton, Bayern Munich and European get a capital letter, and then it needs an A rather than an O because it comes from the German word for cabbage, namely Kraut."

"Krout" is a word famously used by British and American soldiers in world war two as an insult to German soldiers. What the soldiers didn't realise at the time was that "krout" was actually (and still is) the German word for Cabbage, hence "sour krout".
