I prefer English words making it incorrectly into German. "Getting a handy from your buddy at a public viewing" is totally innocent in German.
My friend in Australia is a doctor studying psychiatry and he kept asking me what certain worlds meant and half the time I had no idea what they were or how to explain them lol.
Very random. Here's a wiki list but I remember there were some others too
Anwesenheit
Dermatozoenwahn
Entgleisen
Gedankenlautwerden
Mitgehen
Mitmachen
Pfropfschizophrenie
Schnauzkrampf

It's kind of interesting to see the long lasting effect of Germans pioneering the medical field for a very brief time in history.

Stool ( Stuhl )
Rucksack
Good ones! Rucksack is interesting because it also exists as a backpack, which is literally the translation of rucksack.

Iceberg
Really?
I mean the English usually don't call mountains Berg, right? Berg is German for mountain. Ice of course being Eis. And we like compound words.
I never made the connection, thanks!
Eigenvalues and eigenvectors, which however, were not discovered by the well known mathematician Eigen. Ansatz ist also commonly used in research articles.

I guess mine would be kaput
(German) Angst Apfelstrudel Kindergarten Oberlichte ...
Halt!
Hammerzeit!
Zugzwang
Abseil.
Doppelgänger
"Ouch"
Does "Neuschwanstein" count? As in the castle in bavaria. Because I find it amusing how native english speakers just stumple over the pronounciation. Also "Gesamtkunstwerk" because it seems kinda superflous.
“Fuck”
Was zum Fick
Why are you getting downvoted? This German word is like the #1 English word PERIOD.
