| »anprangern« | lit. to pillory somebody denounce, name and shame |
| »an den Haaren herbeigezogen« | lit. dragged by the hair far-fetched, contrived; women were normally not allowed to attend the Taiding unless they were witnesses, in which case the bailiff would pull them inside the barriers by their hair. |
| »Schranne« – still used in Austrian dialect to mean a marketplace | Traders used the occasion to sell their wares. Some of these so-called “Schrannenmärkte” continued even after the Taidinge had been abolished, with some still in existence today, such as the Schranne of the City of Salzburg. |
