    I thought I had “Mauerbauertraurigkeit” but then I realized Carl was just telling the same story, again.

      Definitely germanic. Google translate roughly figures it as “farmer wall sadness” which, I recognized sadness but not sure how the rest of that fits in. Something like a sadness that causes you to grow walls I guess.

      Anyway, I’ve heard of a couple of these, and I know that all words are made up, but these sound especially invented.

        Bauer in this case would be a verb. So “wall builder sadness”.
