Can we go outside of English? Cause so much of German just sounds insane to me.

Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft = Federal Association of Labor

Kunsthochschule = Art School

In English, we have crapulence and it's even more false sounding route, crapula, the former of which means the state of wallowing in inebriation, and the latter of which just means the inebriation.

I'll work on names, none Come off the top of my head (considering I have friends named Ioana, Nitzan and Ninan, I'm pretty flexible when it comes to names).

Saskatchewan.

Probably falls under the foreign language heading, it's probably a native American name of some sort.

Apparently there's some athlete named Trueblood, which confused me for a full 2 minutes because I was listening to the talking heads on TV discussing him while I was in the kitchen making a sandwich, and was like "wait, isn't that a TV show? Why are they talking about a TV show?"

I think he must be from some ancient wizarding family.

So the sousaphone was invented by american composer John Phillip Sousa so that the tuba would be easier to hold and still have a deep rich sound, which other instruments at the time didn't have...
