Also, bonus fun fact: “Alter!” as an exclamation probably comes from “Alter Schwede!”, which means “Old Swede!”.
According to Wikipedia, after the Thirty Years’ War, a German duke hired experienced Swedish soldiers to train new soldiers. And because they were experienced, they were also generally old. I have no idea, though, why that stuck around as an exclamation. 😅
