International Word of the Week #5

Impressive words that are just #bizarre but you should know.

This programme is made because we are in an international school.

Today's word is:

Backpfeifengesicht

Language: German

Part of speech: Noun

Pronunciation: bAk'pfy'fen'ge'si'hht

Definition: A slappable face (literally: slap face)

Random fact about this word: While the stereotypical German has apparently a really poor sense of humour, this word proves otherwise. By excitingly and creatively describing an alternative word for this unfortunate daily scenario exhibited by at least a few members of every class.
