A panel of German linguists has named the best English loanword to enter into the German vocabulary. The winning word? Shitstorm! That's right, the word is a compound word composed of "shit" and "storm," which derive, respectively, from the German words "Scheisse" and "Sturm," has been re-adopted in its combined form. This demonstrates the strict rigidity of the German language and the American ability to create fantastic obscenities.
