Een limburgs shirt die het woord Och germ beschrijft in het engels:
This exclamation is not unique to Limburgers: in other areas south of the rivers, they also use (och) germ. It originates from ‘och arme’ (oh poor one), which evolved into ‘och erme’ and was later transformed in spoken language into ‘och germ’. It is used to express sympathy or pity.
