German term or phrase: Küte/Kühte
Ich übersetze gerade einen österreichischen Film, leider ohne Skript. In einer Szene fragt ein Jugendlicher seinen Kumpel, was ihm am meisten an seiner Freundin gefällt. Die Antwort ist etwas unverständlich und klingt wie "die Küte" oder "die Kühte" oder so ähnlich. Die Antwort wird von einem breiten Grinsen begleitet ...
Da ich nicht sicher bin, was damit gemeint ist, und auch im Internet keine Hinweise finde, wäre ich euch für Tipps jeder Art dankbar.
