I still disagree.
It's not really a new word, nothing new has been added.
If we take the context away from the German as used here in this case, then it's just as meaningless as the English context-free utterance.
The German term is just the two words smooshed together.
Have you ever watched Lucy The Daughter Of The Devil?
There's an episode where Jesus and Satan are doing smooshes.
People think these German words and cool because they're novel and foreign, but English has plenty of very similar sorts of constructs, weirdness, and coolness too. Dang nab it!
I'd argue English is just as expressive.
