Apparently, in Germany they are holding a contest for the German's Language Most

So what is your favorite German word?

Todd

My favourite German is Christian K ;)... oh word... well, just like Adrian,
Kartoffel, that amuses me...

As I'm currently learning German, I find a few words amusing or interesting,
(even while recently being over there) 'Frühstück', which when I first heard it
thought it meant fruit stick! lol, but actually means 'Breakfast'.  One other
word I find funny to say is 'Entschuldigung'.
