sometimes you have 7 words for the same ****ing thing.
And then you don't have a word for "Schadenfreude", and just call it Schadenfreude, lol
You don't make a difference between "Torte" and "Kuchen" and call it
BOTH cake. I mean - what the ****?!
You have no word for Kummerspeck(eating when sad), no word for fremdschämen(feeling ashamed for another person's behaviour),
no word for a Rabenmutter (a bad mother), and you don't even have a word for very lucky or very unlucky people: "Glückspilz"(luckmushroom) and "Pechvogel"(misfortunebird)
also you don't know what "verschlimmbessern" is, which is the act to try to make something better, but making it worse instead.
O M G! Right?
