Don't worry :D I had to look up Flurförderfahrzeug but it is apparently the accurate term somebody working i.e. in Logistics would use but it's not a word most people know. Apparently Flurförderfahrzeuge also includes other stuff like transport slegdes and railbound lorries.

German legal document names are way to long, like their "Grundstücksverkehrsgenehmigungszuständigkeitsübertragungsverordnung".
I have seen some long and weird words to say in an Ainu language dictionary. The language is almost extinct, if not extinct already.

Might not be that funny for people who don't understand German, but there is a nice short movie involving Flurförderfahrzeuge:
Be advised the movie is a little bloody and might be considered NSFW because of that.

Well... The way Klaus acts is definetly NSFW. It's just the different NSFW than the one the internet is so fond of^^

Combining words together is a common practice among languages. I can say Italian uses this practice, too, and usually, this is done with a verb and a noun. Some examples can be:
Cavatappi = corkscrew (cavare = to remove, tappi = corks);
Stendibiancheria = drying rack (stendere = to lay out, biancheria = laundry);
Lavastoviglie = dishwasher (lavare = towash, stoviglie = flatware) (flat-ware, lol);
Asciugamano = hand towel (asciugare = to dry, mano = hand);
Rompiscatole (rompipalle) = pain in the arse (rompere = to break, scatole = boxes (palle = balls, testicules).
Also in my native language (Furlan, my region's language) there are some of these composite words (verb+noun), and some of them actually mean something different from their literal meaning and some are pretty fun. Some of them are:
Menerost (this thing) also means someone who always tells you the same things over and over, who is a pain in the arse;
Mastiefumate (= fog chewer) indicates someone who does useless things;
Strissinecjadenis (= chain dragger) is someone who annoys people;
Soflecinise (= ash blower) similar to strissinecjadenis, is someone who does annoying things;
Patafebancs (= bench slapper) indicates a clerical figure or some very churchy person;
Tirecampanei (= bell ringer) someone who spites other people;
Sticeboris (= poker) same as tirecampanei;
Pesemoscjis (= fly weigher) means very meticulous.
Funny things! :D

I think in English to name an object in a new method is to use two or more different words and combine them together (example: biology + engineering = bioengineering) or English speakers use phrases with dashes(example: run-of-the-mill). Therefore, there are not many English words that are very long. I know languages such as German and Swedish, whole words are combined together to form new words. In German, Flurförderfahrzeug and Gabelstapler both mean forklift, but the first German word is more weird/unusual/abnormal way to say.
Any long and weird words to say things in languages other than English?
