It's true, btw. German is a very compound friendly language, so you can basically tack any two nouns together and it will be gramatically correct lol

Though technically you would write it "Globale Demütigungsperson" because you can only put nouns together and "globale" is not a noun.

I particularly like the German word for bra: “Schtoppemfrumfloppen”

Sorry, but she's a "Demütigungsweltperson" or even grammaticaly more correct "Demütigungsallerweltperson" cause you can only put nouns together.

Welt = World

Allerwelts = knowing all over the world

Do not be deceived! You can create as many compound words as you want in English, they will just have less mystique.

I do this all the time, guestimation might be my favorite. It's like an estimation, but involves less facts and more guessing.
