German children are not spared from long, complicated words. There is a popular children’s book titled “ Der satanarchäolügenialkohöllische Wunschpunsch“, and children love it.

The long adjective is a portmanteau made up from the words

  • der Satan = satan
  • die Anarchie = anarchy
  • die Archäologie = archeology
  • die Lüge = lie
  • genial = ingenious
  • der Alkohol = alcohol
  • höllisch = infernal

Wunschpunsch is composed of

  • der Wunsch = wish
  • der Punsch = alcoholic punch
