    This is awesome. Apparently the word "shitstorm" has entered German, taking the meaning of an especially fervent political protest. Even the prime minister has used it, and now the German standardized dictionary (like our Websters, or the OED) has an entry for it.

    To hear it in action, watch at least the first 20 seconds of this video

    Yeah, "shitzenhuber". In Russian, it's "shitsky". In Polish, it's "shitsinski".
