I actually hear German spoken around here, or some strange variant thereof.  It was jarring at first, but I've gotten used to it.  I've lived in quite a few places but southeastern Pennsylvania is the first place I've lived when I regularly hear German spoken by locals in places like Wal-mart.  (Well, except for the year we lived in Germany.  There I heard German spoken regularly.  But in the US, I hadn't heard it till we moved to PA.)

"Flot"   It means navy, as in "a language is a dialect with an army and navy"
