Julie and Bob,
You're both very entertaining!
In this thread, post interesting words in any language, and/or brief poems that they inspire you to write.
Another German word I love is
funkelnagelneu, which is our equivalent of 'brand new', but which in translation is more like 'shiny nail new'.
(I can't say that 'funkelnagelneu' has inspired me to write a poem, though!
)
