Nifty words from languages other than English: Sitzpinkler (German), noun, a man who pees sitting down.

😆

Good thing you are good at chess, and name calling. Or you would pretty much be useless.

Kummerspeck: Literally meaning “grief bacon,” the excess weight we gain from emotional overeating (German);

Please! This thread is to inform about curious "foreign" (probably for the English speakers) words. Don't comment on them until you supply one.

Strange foreign words: "schubladiser" French word adapted from the German Schublade (drawer) denoting the use of those to put things away from attention.

Are you speaking on behalf of the OP, not that it matters.

I pay my Subscription each year and am permitted to speak in any of the threads, same as you. You have to try a refrain from telling me what I can and can not do unless you happen to be running a prose competition or something along those lines.

Thanks,
