Its a joke statement. I don't know if Germans have a comparison.

One note:
1. Some of my family came from that region. The family joke was if you asked if we were German or French we said "yes."
2. Reminder at the time, there was no Germany. These were Germanic states part of the Holy Roman Empire.
