I can't help but admire complicated meanings expressed in a single word.

Take the Dutch word 'leedvermaak' for example. It means something like 'being entertained by someone else's pain'.

I believe that the English language has many more words than Dutch, but forgive me for being too lazy to google the exact numbers or even check if I am right about this.

Anyway, as many words as there are, in my opinion there aren't nearly as many existing words as the potential number of new, not yet existing words.

Find that hard to believe?

Let me just take a random product off my kitchen shelf and put my word creating brain to work...
