die Kneipe
noun · /ˈknaɪ̯pə/ ·Etymology
From kneipen, an archaic variant of kneifen (“to pinch, squeeze”). The noun spread from student slang of Upper Saxony in the later 18th century, possibly picked up from thieves’ cant, and is based on the idea of a crowded pub where people, as it were, squeeze and poke each other. Kneipe became the commonest word for “pub” during the 20th century.
