I always liked "genau", for some reason.

Baumkuchen! (Tree-cake)

Backpfeifengesicht

Gesamtkunstwerk

As a native german, the french Œuvre feels a bit nicer on the tongue.

Opus is also common when talking about music.

Banause!

Waschbär is another great one.

Umfahren - because it's one of the few German words that changes meaning based on pronounciation - and in a very important way.

One is a shortening of darum herumfahren.

"darum" also sounds like a shortened form. Probably from "da herum"?

Maybe, but could also be a merger of "da" and "um".
