Finding out Bo Burnham is 6'5" and not like 5'11" has absolutely killed me today. The concept of some Goliath twink pacing around a stage yelling absurdities and throwing glitter is triggering my fight or flight response

Honestly, as a German I can not quite understand the obsession of the English speaking world with the question whether a word exists or not. If you have to express something for which there is no word, you have to make a new one, preferably by combining well-known words, and in the very same moment it starts to exist. Agree?

Deutsche Freunde, could you please create for me a word for the extreme depression I feel when I bend down to pick up a piece of litter and discover two more pieces of litter?

• um = around
• die Welt = world
• die Umwelt = environment
  
• ver = prefix to indicate something difficult or negative, a change that leads to deterioration or even destruction that is difficult to reverse or to undo, or a strong negative change of the mental state of a person
  
• der Müll = garbage, trash, rubbish, litter
• -ung = -ing
• die Vermüllung = littering
• ver- = see before
• zweifeln = to doubt
• -ung = see before
• die Verzweiflung = despair, exasperation, desperation

die Umweltvermüllungsverzweiflung = …

This is a german compound on the spot master class and I am LIVING

#my german is still too basic for this but I desperately want a compound word for how much these compound words piss me off

• das Monster = monster
• das Wort = word
• der Groll = grudge, anger, malice, rancor

der Monsterwortgroll = …

Monsterwortbildungsimitationsunfähigkeitsverzweiflungsgroll

• die Bildung = formation
• die Imitation = imitation
• • un- = un-, in-
  • fähig = able
  • -keit = -ility
• die Unfähigkeit = inability

der Monsterwortbildungsimitationsunfähigkeitsverzweiflungsgroll = anger about the inability to imitate the formation of monster words

What I’m curious about: If a German person came out with the word

‘Monsterwortbildungsimitationsunfähigkeitsverzweiflungsgroll’

would a German listener just instantly know what they were on about, and get the highly specific meaning of the monster word?

Yes, without a second of thinking. Because saying the word takes time so the listener understands the word while it is being said.

Serious question—if you don’t know/can’t remember the actual word for something, if you make up a compound word that gets the point across (such as saying “kindhund” when you mean puppy), will native speakers generally applaud your effort or think you sound ridiculous?

A native speaker will understand, will acknowledge that you have understood that principle of the German language, and will probably think ‘how cute’.

My foreign exchange student did that all the time when she couldn’t remember words. It was awesome, I understood her perfectly, and I’m still in awe at how well she picked up on How To German. So feel free to make your own compound words whenever you need!

Honestly, “Let’s make it so they can’t ignore fixing what needs fixing” is pretty great.

Of course, once someone did something constructive with it, the city HAD to come put a stop to that.

so i know that fyre festival is now mostly seen as funny meme of rich kids being scammed but please don’t forget that billy mcfarland hired 200+ Bahamian locals to work grueling hours day and night on the island for weeks with completely unrealistic expectations for this festival and in the end abandoned the island and ran home without paying any of them

so in all seriousness, billy mcfarland is a monster needs to like…….go to jail

Fortunately, he did go to jail.
