So what is your favorite German word?

Mine was always Augenblick because it was easy to figure out what it meant in

My favorite German word is "SCHADENFREUDE", which translates to "showing
happiness over other peoples misfortunes".  A good example of schadenfreude is
the feeling you get when you find out that greedy corporate executives go to
jail for their looting of corporate coffers.

And just so that I cover my butt over not sending this to off topic.....
how about "Legovergnuegen" (like the VW ad about "Fahrverguegen").

Welcome back Gary! (Willkommen zurück?  Willkom wieder?)
