Back in the days before we called a 'spade' an 'earth-manoeuvring device', it was relatively easy to communicate. Now days, every job-description has been bloated to the most artificial and meaningless extremes.

This concept may have had its roots in the German-language, where an entire sentence can be concatenated to form a word.

What convoluted descriptions of simple devices or job-descriptions can you suggest to illustrate the absurdity of this trend?  [ German-language examples welcomed ]
