Neidbaued by a backpfeifengesichter

[topum]

German is fascinating. Germans have a word for "something constructed just to annoy a neighbour", it is "neidbau". They also have a word for "face which is asking for a fist", it is "backpfeifengesicht".

Have you ever been neidbaued by your backpfeifengesichted neighbour?
