    Germany honestly has the best words for everything. I love how you guys literally have a word for everything, including things we have to use a whole sentence for in English. 🙂

      Do you know kummerspeck? It’s kinda like worrybacon, the pounds you put on after a bad period.

        I did not know of kummerspeck, but it’s an awesome word! Brushing up on my German is definitely on my to-do list. Learned it at school many years ago, and I’m pretty rusty now, but I’ve always loved it.
