The Germans are always coming up with new words by melding a buncha words together and making 'em describe things it takes a paragraph to describe in English.

Schadenfreude, for instance.

But here's one they swiped from Greek and made long because it could be long:

Froschmausekrieg

Apparently, the original Greek was coined by Homer in a poem about some stupid mice and their war with a bunch of idiot frogs. But Batrachomyomachia sounds like a frickin' disease, instead of a cool war sounding word like Krieg.

Kriiieeeeeeeg. The Kriegmeister. Kriegnoramous. Kriegy McKriegenstein.

Ahem.
