re: #146 Teukka

Fun fact: the covid crisis has produced over 1200 new words in German over the past year. Personal favourites are coronamüde (tired of covid) & Impfneid (envy of those who have been vaccinated).

My favorite is Impfschleicher (someone who sneaks their way into the line to get vaccinated) just because it contains a cluster of seven (count ‘em) consonants in a row.

“1200 new words” is also misleading as German allows you to combine almost any two (or more) existing words to make a new one.
