His name became famous as a euphemism for the vulgar expression (also known as the Swabian Salute): “Er kann mich am Arsch lecken” (lit: He can lick my ass). This saying was attributed to him by writer and poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832), who wrote a play based on his life.[2]

It’s a pity there was never a film about him with Klaus Kinski in the lead role.
