Ratschkathl is a stock character of the Bavarian popular theatre.
The Bavarian language name literally translates as "rattlepuss", meaning a gossiping woman.
The name has become a popular slang term for an overly gossipy woman.
[citation needed] The inventor of this stage character was the Bavarian folk actress Elise Aulinger.
Later on, the character was perfected by the Bavarian folk comedian Ida Schumacher[1]
