I particularly like Ichschmerz ("oh god, I'm so woefully tired of myself") and Kreislaufzusammenbruch (“circulatory collapse”), which sounds fatal until you realise it's just "I'm feeling a bit off colour, I think I'll take the day off".
And then there's Verschlimmbessern (German, obviously): "To make something worse while trying to improve it".
Closely related to Kaputtverbessern, which is when you totally wreck something because you haven't a clue what you're supposed to be doing.![]()
Or, as we used to say during my biking days, "if it ain't broke, fix it till it is."![]()
