general assumption that they're good girls.

El programa trazador de rayos POV-Ray. (I just made up the 'trazador de
rayos' part, I don't really know how you would say that). BTW, I made a
little SNAFU there. "programa" is actually masculine, despite ending in 'a'.

In Spanish, that would be "Por favor, no me mates!" As you can see, there is
no one-word equivalent. (Unless you count the slang "porfa").

The Donaudampfschifffahrtsgesellschaft (DDSG for short) really exists.
Building even longer words from that is a favorite sport among Autrian
school children (or at least it was when I was 10 or so).
Austrian bureaucrats are of course even more successful at building long
words. A few months ago I read about some regulation with a similar
length as my "DDSG captain's visor color regulation". Unfortunately I
can't remember what it was about.

"Gemeinschaft". What does that mean? I saw it in my sociology book.

It sounds like German simply has a looser definition of "word". In
english, that would simply be divided up into each of it's parts, and
the whole called a "title" or something, while in German the words seem
to be concatenated into one with little or no modification.

Yes. German (like Finnish :-) allows building almost infinitely long
words, where in English you would use a phrase of many words. However,
English allows building of longer words from shorter words, too:
"raytracer" is just as common as "ray tracer", and it's "football"
not "foot ball". In general, the English language seems to avoid long
words. You can see this with adjectives, too: The comparative of
"easy" is "easier" (one slightly longer word), but the comparative
of "complicated" is "more complicated" (two words) instead of
"complicateder".
