If you see a long German or Swedish word, first of all, don't panic. It's more scared of you than you are of it. Secondly, take a closer look and you'll see it's actually just three normal words in a trenchcoat, huddling together to deter predators (French and English).

@Loukas Polish, on the other hand, is the real deal. Those parts that look like they could hurt you can and will do just that. Bezwzględnie!

@jzillw @Loukas to paraphrase a different joke, "Long words are harder to kidnap".

@Argonel @Loukas Here the relationship is inverted. Long German words are genuinely long. Long Polish words are actually short words with a lot of digraphs and a serious inflection.

(if you remove inflection from "bezwzględnie", you get "wzgląd")
