A payment made in some areas of Germany for sparing the women of the house from fudging. – On the day before Ash Wednesday, young men there went from yard to yard with music and customarily whipped the women of the house with rods; this was called fudeln, so or similarly spelled. Instead of money, the women could sometimes redeem themselves from the whipping by handing over liquor, eggs, and sausage. – See Dispensation money, Freikaufgeld, Hautgeld, Loskaufgeld.
