Now L'Empereur himself lends credibility to my argument...
Btw, the saying "getürkt" or "einen Türken aufbinden"; lit. "to turk somebody" or "to tie a turk on someone's back", colloquial german for hoaxing or decieving someone does not come from the country Turkey or the turkish people but rather from the mechanical turk.

Also, die Redewendung "jemandem einen Türken aufbinden" habe ich noch nie gehört. Mit Bären kenne ich das nur.
