   Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaftskapitaen. This is the standard
   "longest word ever used" in German. I don't believe it was really
   used, but who knows? It's old, and it's from Austria...

   You want to know what it *means*? "Captain at the Danube Steam
   Boat Corporation".

... Steam Boat Travel/Transportation Corporation. "Schiffahrt" is used for
all sort of things you can do with ships and get paid for.

Btw, you can make the word longer without problem.

Try "Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaftskapitaensmuetzenkordelknoten",

which is the knot in the cord at his hat.
