Translation for the word Dösbadde
I could't find the translation neither for the word Dösbadde, nor for the words Dös and badde.
Dösen it means to snooze, but I can't see any connection with Dösbadde.
The whole sentence is: Die Weide da hat aber Millionen Blätter, du Dösbadde, rief Piggeldy.
It's the sentence from Was ist Glück? (Piggeldy und Frederick)
