Y'know, most of the words that have been suggested in this thead aren't 
really words that have been adopted/adapted into English, as Sven's 
original suggestion/question.  They are German words that are commonly 
recognized by English-speakers, but as German words.  Some have been 
adopted, (kindergarden, angst, ersatz, pretzel...) but most of these 
suggestions have not.

I know; picky, picky, picky...     ;-)     (I seem to be becoming more 
and more of a curmudgeon the older I get -- I don't know why since I 
only turned sixty-nine in April!)
