I would like to know what the above phrase: "For schnitzel, my nitzel" means 'cause I have searched the internet using google dot com but haven't found anything which would explain it to me.

I have seen that phrase recently in one comment on myspace profile without any particular context. It seems to mean something like "cheers!" (when you say "cheers" while drinking) tho, as someone used that phrase together with another one: "happy birthday".
Besides, I have found that expression on the website www dot chillmost dot com (in a note from Tuesday, November 22, 2005 titled:"Angie, Trains and Inheritance").
 
    • OK, had a quick read through the blog you mentioned and it's very understandable why a non-native wouldn't recognize this expression - in fact, most natives probably wouldn't either!

    It's a corruption of an already corrupted phrase:
    For schnitzel, my nitzel"
    ->
    "Fo' shizzle my nizzle"
    ->
    "For sure, my :warn:nigger:warn:" (horrible, horrible word, but in the interests of clarity, I don't think I can just asterisk it out).

    More information:

    Some US rappers started a trend for a new type of slang that involves inserting a "zzl" sound in the middle of words, or dropping the endings (as in the above case). Snoop Dogg uses this technique a lot - I think it helps with the rhyming cadences when rapping.

    "Schnitzel" is a German word - "nitzel" is not a word, but sounds like "nizzle" while rhyming with Schnitzel. This is a "Germanized" version of this popular US rap phrase.

    The meaning? It doesn't mean much, to be honest - you could rephrase it as "Definitely/Absolutely, dude!".

    Hope that helps, elky - and welcome to the forums! :)

    You put it very well. I'd like to add, that i've got the meaning almost
    instantly. Well, thanks to my German tongue. ;)

    As a sidenote: In some German regions it is pretty popular to call
    someone else, say, a member of a given gang, a "Schnitzel" as in
    "Hey Schnitzel, was geht?" Sometimes you speak to children like that.
    (e.g. "Na Du kleines Schnitzel" maybe "Na Du kleines Schnitzel Mitzel."
    For Rhymes sake you can add whatever you want after "Schnitzel".
    It doesn't make sense anyway. ;)
