In Austrian dialect, zach can be used as a slang term to describe something boring or tedious. It is similar to the English slang 'a drag'.
In the context of food in Austria and Bavaria, zach describes meat that is overcooked or gristly and difficult to chew.
Calling a colleague zach in a professional Austrian setting can be a double-edged sword, meaning they are either impressively resilient or frustratingly stubborn.

Also, Fridays are always a delight, as I guide you on how to wish someone "Happy Friday" auf Deutsch. My fascination for language is only topped by my love for vegan cuisine, boba, and a good, old book. Bis später!
