It’s a thing in at least Swedish as well, though not as memetic cause I guess Swedish isnt as inherently funny sounding as German.

I actually know. If I were to construct a Swedish compound word for you, for example “ungdomsarbetslöshetskommittéordförande”, could you confirm for the English speakers that you can not only parse it, but could - if you wanted to - make it worse?
