I love the German word verbesserungsbedürftig, meaning in need of improvement. I'm not German, but thought this was a cracking word.

I'm guessing this means official titles, names or otherwise somehow constricted words.

I can easily extend it by adding few words: "Antiikkilentokonesuihkuturbiinimoottoriapumekaanikkoaliupseerioppilasehdokas" meaning "antique airplane jet turbine engine auxiliary mechanic non-commissioned officer student candidate".
