The German language really is an invaluable resource. Handschuh (hand-glove; mitten), Kühlschrank (cooling cupboard; refrigerator), Faultier (lazy animal; sloth), Glühbirne (glow-pear; light bulb), the list goes on. My favorite is Weltschmerz (world-pain), which I wrote about recently and will be familiar to anyone.

Agree Christian, the German language is amazing inspiration for writers. The glow-pear is particularly poetic!
Loved this, I think Kopfkino is my fave
It's a good one, Karen. The German language seems to have an endless supply of fabulous words like this.
