문화적 배경

In Germany, this phrase is a classic. It is widely understood and used across all generations, though more common among older speakers. Austrians use the same phrase, often with a slightly more relaxed, humorous tone. Swiss Germans also use this, though they might prefer 'Mit dem kann man durchs Feuer gehen' (go through fire) in some regions. In the North, people are often more reserved, so hearing this phrase is a very high compliment.
