I can confirm that verschlimmbessern is a perfect fit to describe the situation. Englisch took Angst and Zeitgeist. Take that one too?

  Angst and zeitgeist don't decimate the American tongue. If you want us to adopt verschlimmbessern, drop one of the Ms and one of the Ses and get Muppets to sing a song about it.

    You made me smile on a foggy cold and way to early morning before coffee. Take that upvote!
