    "Schattenparker" is a word that could only be coined in a high latitude, going by the translation provided here.

    (IOW, no one who's never got a second degree burn off of a seat belt buckle in a hot car in the summer has standing to call someone a wimp for parking in the shade.)

    "Zugzwang": I thought that was specifically a chess term.

    Amy Young I don't know. I'm getting kind of a germanic macho thing implied in that term ;)

    Will Frank Maybe it has generalized beyond game theory?
