[–] Katzastrophe@feddit.de 125 points 2 years ago (3 children) If anyone wants to know, "Beweglichertorpfostenkrieg" is literally just "moving goal posts war" disguised as a german compound word. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Sheeple@lemmy.world 51 points 2 years ago (4 children) As a German, this word was compounded incorrectly anyway. Adjectives don't get compounded. So it would be "Beweglicher Torpfostenkrieg" permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] circuscritic@lemmy.ca 54 points 2 years ago (1 child) Look guys, I found the Grammer Nazi. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Ooops@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago* (1 child) It's actually quite easy to correct, so why not mention it? Make that "moving goal post war" a "goal post movement war" and now it's all nouns and valid to compound them. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] circuscritic@lemmy.ca 23 points 2 years ago* German...Grammer...Nazi... Sir, this is a Noncredible Wendy's, not a Highly Credible Outback Steakhouse. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Turun@feddit.de 18 points 2 years ago* This is wrong. That would describe a certain type of war, but specify that the war is movable. I think the "Torpfostverschiebekrieg" mentioned in another comment would be the best solution. permalink fedilink source parent [–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago (1 child) But surely wouldn't that imply the existence of such thing as a 'goal post war'? Because the term is meant to mean '(moving goal post) (war)', and not '(moving) (goal post war)' permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FleetingTit@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago (2 children) Beweglicher-Torpfosten-Krieg looks about right. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 point 2 years ago Ah yes that makes sense permalink fedilink source parent [–] ChunkMcHorkle@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago That's what Google Translate corrected it to, anyway. permalink fedilink source parent [–] khapyman@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago On the other hand in Finnish that's can be one word: maalitolpansiirtosota. No sense implied. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Gork@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago Hmm they can try using that as the new Паляниця (Palanitsya). permalink fedilink source parent [–] Sharpiemarker@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago (2 children) Is it not a German compound word? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] wert_straffer@feddit.de 20 points 2 years ago „Torpfostenbewegungskrieg“ would be correct.
