Here's a German word I appreciate more and more I recent years: Handgemenge.
It means "a brawl", and it's part of a popular pun format here on fedi (perhaps elsewhere), where one person starts a pun, the the other warns them not to continue, and the first finishes the joke anyway. The format ends with the word as a stage direction of sorts.
I know it from childhood, because it was introduced to me via another thing virtually unknown outside of Germany, the Midgard role-playing game.
