  • What's your favourite German word?

    I go with 8 options because 24 would have people stop reading al and just choose one randomly.

    By spelling or pronunciation, what's your favourite?

      "Reichsdeputationshauptschluss" has a nice ring to it.
      "Paul Hanson, you should give Gibraltar back to the Spanish" - Paiktis, dramatically over-estimating my influence in diplomatic circles.

        What's that word for taking pleasure in the misery of others?
        Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.
        -Richard Dawkins

                            'schadenfreude' is the word

                            would have been my choice if it was an option in the poll....
