Habseligkeiten literally means posessions, you ding dong.

"Habseligkeiten": the stuff you own and can carry around. Adult or child doesn't matter.

It's not that I don't want to learn these I just can't pronounce them without spending too much time

And very important: "Das bin ich nicht gewesen" - "That wasn't me". And most important: "Prost"

I have never used/heard "Weltschmerz, Luftmensch, Witzelsucht" in a conversation. Outdated I guess

Weltanschauung: just world view, there's no judging. Kummerspeck: less stress eating, more emotional overeating (lots of breakup ice cream)
yayboobs
i don't know why there aren't literal translations for some of these; "kummerspeck" is hilarious, literally meaning "grief-bacon"

Googling tausendsassa (only one I didn't know) I also found "Wunderwuzzi", hahahaha. I love the german language. SCHMETTERLING!
HorseMcFucker
Luftmensch? That literally means "Air person"
Grimmes
Spitzenmäßige Wortkombinationen.

If english could stop hyphenating everything we could have nice words too.

I'm German and didn't knew half of these 1+
megodk
I was literally only missing Luftmensch and Witzelsucht.
hoboispope
Yeah because they do not exist in the german langauge
megodk
Witzelsucht actually does. It's a medical term. Luftmensch is Yiddish.

"Happiness at the misfortune of others?" That IS German!
legendave
That is basically the plot of the TV show 'Jackass'

Im german and going to school in england for a year. My literature teacher keeps on using that word in connection with shakespeare's plays

7:1(germany vs. brazil) no words can explain my happiness watching that match while being the only german in a bar full of brazilians :)
peteyboo
As an American, I say "Brazil!" every time a team goes up 7-1 in Rocket League, so that counts for something, right? :D
Kingofthefrogs
yes XD
