It’s all been blown out of proportion.
In german we call this a: “Sommerlochschlagzeile”
A “summer hole news headline”. As it is normal that in the summertime, typically during the summer holidays, people are in their vacations, less happens in society and politics. And also the journalists are away more often, so more “nothingburgers” get made big by the media, who have to print something to fill their newspaper
You Germans have a word for everything
there’s a word for that:
WortfindungsfähigkeitIts just that you can assemble words together with certain rules, to create compound nouns.
Is there a compound word for typical German efficiency?
No, “Effizienz” is not a particularly complex thing that would need multiple words. The “typical” and “german” part is something germans themselves dont mention.
It’s the panther all over again haha
