Rottweilers...

Season 4 Episode 1: Birth, Death, Love and Rice
Airdate:
September 26 1985
Sam is telling his story of how he jumped the fence to get into the manor to stop Diane and Frasier's wedding, only to land in the middle of seven snarling Rottweilers.

Cliff has something to say....


Oh, Rottweilers, comes from the German word weilershn...
(Sam: "Cliff, Shut up!")


The truth:

We're not sure what the word was as Cliff never got the chance to finish but knowing him it was probably weilerschnitzel.

Rottweiler is indeed a German word, named after Rottweil, a city of southern Germany.
