Im not very good with these kind of words, but I do have a huge interest mostly with foreign words that nobody ever knows, such as Weltanschauung, Zeitgeist, Übermensch, Wanderlust, etc... Of course, it's that I read and chat in German almost everyday, but I also like words from other language as well. I try to avoid them sometimes because it sometimes sounds too cliché.

German is famous for quite long words, and several have made it to becoming the Word of the Year. I remember one year there was a word like this:

Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübert ragungsgesetz

It is a law about labelling of beef. Funny word, eh?
