    How a normal Mexican American misunderstands via conversations with actual Germans…say you got an avocado… Now add salt, its a saltiavocado. Add vinegar, its a saltyvinegaravocado. Now step on it while running and you just “slippedonavinegaravocado” or you had an “avocadoslip”.

    I call bullshit. Bullshit doesn’t come.

      English has large compounds like this too, we just usually add spaces and/or hyphens so it doesn’t look quite as extreme when written out.
