I think I've pissed myself

Shitstorm in a teacup

The English language has been enriched by many German words, such as zeitgeist; schadenfreude; and, the all-time classic, blitzkrieg. So it's only fair that we return the favour.

Perhaps they would like to adopt wondrous? So much prettier than wunderbar. Or flirtatious? A delightfully cheeky, fun-loving little thing, wouldn't you agree?

But, no, they've chosen shitstorm.

At least it's pithy, I suppose.


For anyone who thinks that I don't know that Zeitgeist is capitalised in German, the Anglicisation is deliberate.
