Stiefelschaft: bootleg, as in literally the leg of your boot, not the figurative meaning in English. Küchendragoner: I can think of a good translation in English, but that probably won't help you as it's not your native language. Basically it's a somewhat pejorative term for a cook who's a bit mean. Wachstuchbrieftasche: I assume this is a type of wallet made with wax-covered cloth? Kinners: This is very colloquial, it comes from the word "Kinder" but it's something you say when you're feeling exasperated. "Ach Kinners, das wird nicht gut sein!"
