What's the word for something that would be funny if it wasn't real.

Got to hand it to the German language. I don't know if your joking or its a real expression

It's a joke. That's just the translation of the phrase run together as one word.

Isn't that what German is?

Compound words are very common in German. Some made their way over to English.

Kindergarten = children garden

Zeitgeist = time ghost

Poltergeist = noisy ghost

Wanderlust = desire to roam or hike

Gesundheit = you just peed your pants, slightly.

We also have compound words in English, like breakfast, mailbox, ballpoint, catfish, headache, and storefront. We just tend to keep them short and not start mashing compound words together since we have adjectives to differentiate things

They usually cram a bunch of nouns and verbs together to make words and skip the other stuff.
