After writing and reading the comments in that last post, I think we English speakers need access to even more German compound words.
What about one for the sense of awkwardness that arises when you're at a Halloween party and you're not sure if you should compliment someone on their costume because you've never met them before and for all you know they're not wearing a costume but in fact actually make a habit of wearing 70s-era shirts open to their chests with tight polyester pants hiked up over their crotches?
Come on, Germans, step up and provide us with more overlong but poetically apt words so we can more succinctly describe all the ridiculous shit that goes on in our lives. We are clearly lacking in that department over here.
