Wessi

Wessi (German pronunciation:[ˈvɛsiː]; "westerner") is the informal name that people in Germany call former citizens of West Germany before re-unification, while the counterpart for former citizens of East Germany is Ossi. These names represent the lingering differences between the two pre-reunification cultures, and Germany's popular culture includes many Ossi-Wessi jokes and cliches. While some people in Germany may consider these names insulting most people, others regard them as part of the German culture.
