Same here. I love the creativity (and am impressed by it) it takes to invent new German words for things, even though I agree that it is impractical for the reason you pointed out.
Sadly, terms like "Klapprechner" for "laptop" or "Verklemmung" for "deadlock" never caught on.

- gumby 3y ago„Verklemmung“ is actually a better word for it than “deadlock”.
