Brilliant... and add to your list: Treppenwitz. It's the sense of humor you develop on the way down the stairs after visiting a friend's apartment, when you suddenly know what you should have said five minutes ago in a conversation.

Thanks to kummerspeck I've had more than my fair share of "grief bacon" during lockdown and have the extra pounds to show for it. Ugh. No worries though. The inflation and recession diet is going to slim me down really good. I looked great after the last recession and didn't even have to try to lose weight thanks to little food. True story. Can you hear my dark laughter over the keyboard?

Could it be that some of those German words are long enough to be their own sentence of description? Yikes...

The new ones 😂🤣

And now I'm off to share the Hitler Rants and probably get banned from FarceBook...

Wish you'd left out the refugeewillkommen--really killed the mood, seriously, no attempt at cleverness from me here.

On the other hand--sometimes the most brutal example proves the insanity best. General reminder to all: forgiveness is best left to the Divine if one believes in the concept; on this earthly plane some things are truly unforgiveable and the civilization forgetting that is doomed.

Thanks Tovarisch! That is a wonderful contribution to our body of knowledge. Now on to more language stuff. You will soon learn that you have a source of ancient Sumerian, in the original dialect, with your new family addition. Be sure to capture a few of those words too.

We live just east of Lancaster County and are a local drop off point for our Amish farmer. (Sadly we live on the fringes of Karenland.) We always attend (Amish) farm day in July. The video is spot on. They aren't buying any of this crap. And God bless 'em for it.

Apropos:

Verschlimmbesserung (worsening betterment): When your measure supposedly taken to improve a thing makes it worse.

Erklärungsnot (explanation poverty): when you cannot rationally justify your actions or positions.

Lebensmüde (life tired): the feeling of being utterly done with it all: beaten down and tired of everything or weary and gloomy about the whole world.
