Well, the reviews on stackoverflow.feedback are quite informative!

Is there a word for the feeling you get when you see 15+ year old idiot message board / forum / usenet catchphrases apparently still going strong?

It's a curious mix of nostalgia and revulsion.

The German word for it is Beinaheleidenschaftsgegenstand, apparently.

In 22 years of living in germany, ive never once heard anyone use that atrocity of a word or anything close to it - I guess it's a joke-word from the tv series How I met your mother making fun of the fact that many complex german words are just glued together from other words, eg. Krankenhaus ("ill building" or "building for the ill"). This does not mean that every compound word you theoretically could form is actually a valid german word.

Yes, truly an old recycled joke that was never that funny in the first place, kind of like !!11!!!!one!

Here in the Anglosphere, any sufficiently compound word is indistinguishable from German. ;-)

Isn't that true? After 2 years in Germany, it was my feeling that you could freely associate several words into one. I'll defer to your 22 years of expertise, obviously.

You can combine words, but the result has to be a logical structure. The word by OP is nonsensical. It can't exist.

You totally can. Technically sometimes you need a certain conjugation or a linking "s", but usually you just combine the words.

I guess they meant that not every compound word is one that Germans actually use (as you would expect when somebody claims "it's a German word"). But you can totally make up words on the spot that every German will understand

Yep. Anything with more than one of "schaft", "stand", "gegen", "-biet", etc., is either a joke, or a government office.

Bietstandgegenwitgeschaft is real though

Googling that word returns only your comment.

I do use such constructs from time to time as a mix of nostalgia and tongue in cheek.

Everyone knows adults mix in cos(0) somewhere among the 1's

Really??!!!11-i^21?

I always mixed in lim x->0 sin(x)/x.

I agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111!!!!!!!1onemilliononehundredeleventhousandonehundredelevenpointoneoneoneoneoneoneoneoneone!!!1

I think "Stack Overflow Admin"'s response to Dan Manny should speak for itself:

> You fucking moron!!! You lost money because you were so stupid and not being able to differentiate bad code from good code. StackOverflow is not you free personal assistant. You should kill yourself for being so stupid.

From reading the "reviews" at http://www.stackoverflow.feedback/reviews, I get the feeling the entire .feedback TLD will soon be hosting all kinds of 4chan-alike pages and the owners will have to take the sites down because of the NSFW things that will be posted there...

Im pretty sure they're all from here though(including the one I quoted), and the ones before today are somewhat civil.

Having a quick look through I think most of the responses are just trolls.
