German term or phrase: Käschefrescher
This is a cartoon script about two mice who save three frogs from near death after having gone over the edge of a cliff. The frog had shot his tongue up at the mice, who then pulled the frog (and his frog brothers, clinging to his legs) up to safety by his tongue. After this, the frog is thanking them, and he says this:

Hey, frogfrischen Dank, ihr komischen Käschefrescher... für die äh...käschecoole Rettung.

His tongue is so worn out that he can't talk properly, but I can't figure out what "Käschefrescher" would actually be.

For reference, in the sentence prior, he said this:

Oh Mann. Meine SCHUNGE ischt gansch schön auschgeleiert.
(This one is obviously "Zunge ist ganz schön ausgeleiert.")
