Willy Widdershins was a British wizard known for engaging in Muggle-baiting pranks. Some of his pranks included enchanting toilets in Muggle areas to regurgitate. Due to his actions, he was arrested by the Ministry of Magic but he made a deal with the Ministry to spy on Harry Potter and his friends in exchange for his release. Willy Widdershins was involved in reporting the organizational meeting of the D.A. (Dumbledore’s Army) to Professor Umbridge.

Let’s hope some Potter fans come with some other gems.
Quite a few works of fiction have Amazing made up words, Buffy verse/Whedonverse has some interesting and unique words (cant come up with anything right now, maybe later).

How about a German word of the day?
Erwartungshorizont
Can have a few meanings:
In an examination scenario, it’s the expected performance
The amount of what is desired or expected
And it can also mean the expectations or assumptions about the contents of a literary text

What a word
Makes me think of possible German words that would sound like it, and how would it rhyme
How to flow in that direction, I think saying it slowly in sections and faster in otherswould allow for a proper break down
And all that good stuff … I would like to know and be able to rap in all the languages of the world

With time people can learn from previous greats
English has a lot of generations of rappers to learn from
