Overwhelmed in Ossining
Dear Neologist,
What's the German word for groaning at piled-up dishes the morning after a dinner party?
Overwhelmed in Ossining
----
Dear Overwhelmed,
the word you're looking for is
Nachfeierliches Ordunungswiederherstellungspflichtstöhnen
n, nac'-fire-lick-es ord'-noongs-vee-der-hare-shtel-loongs-pfligts-stoe'-nun
(post-party order restoration duty groaning)
It's why the Gods of Order and Cleanliness made sure there are usually leftovers to fuel your necessary efforts. May the day-old cocktail weenies speed your journey!
Mit herzlichen Grüßen,
The Neologist
