To be fair, the Germans have a word for everything

Look, a man with a duck on his head

We Germans have a word for that: Quacksalberaufdekopfmann

[Detrytus]

To be fair, German form such words just by writing the whole sentence without any spaces or hyphens, like "Amanwithaduckonhishead"

Get the point, but no, actually not, we join nouns, not sentences ;) (but english does, too, just with spaces between?)

Further especially that word few germans could tell you why it is called like that:

Spieß is spear, so Spießbürger/Spießer is just a spear citizen, or a speary?! ;)

(One explanation is the medieval simple citizen that could not afford a better weapon than a simple spear. Not even sure if the only explanation attempt though..)

the funny thing is that a Spießbürger is someone who in english could be described as having a stick up their rear.
