It's pretty close to how you would pronounce that in German if you read it for the first time

Correction: "Vrots-waff". Ł, ł sounds the same as W, like in "why".

Low effort.

At least pick some real sounding ones, like "Przemysław Mądrzykowski", or something...

Party-disappearance-feelings? Or “Feeling of party fading” Man the Germans have a word for everything! But seriously any real words compounded together that make anything near to sense, is a word in German.

"Feierverschwindungsgefühl"

Technically, that is a word in German, it means "feeling of celebration enshrinkening". Might not be very popular, but it follows the rules 😉

Well, it would come from "ver- schwind -en -ung", so the closest translation to English might be something like "for-dwindling"... but the English "for-" seems to have lost some of the versatility of the German "ver-", so the closest modern word that comes to mind is using the "shrink" meaning of "schwinden", and translate as "enshrinkening". Ultimately they'd all be synonyms.

Meanwhile, "to vanish" has several synonyms, and it just happens some can be built following almost the same composition rules.

Once I met a Slovak guy with clearly polish surname, so I asked him wether he had polish ancestors. He genuinely didn't get why would I think something like that...

As a west Slav (Moravian) myself, I'm usually able to distinguish these two, especially in written form. The meme shows the characteristics of polish quite realistically.

Sir, would you like a side to vowels to go with that consonant clusters?

The first words out of my new coworker's mouth were about Robert Lewandowsky.

Never in doubt.
