Where are our German-speaking friends? Another from "In Other Words":
korinthenkacker [core-in-ten-cuck-er] (noun)
A "raisin pooper" -- that is, someone so taken up with life's trivial detail that they spend all day crapping raisins. You can spot these types a mile off -- it's that irritating pen pusher or filing fanatic whose favorite job is tidying up the stationery cupboard.
Any language with a specific word for that kind of person must be fairly dense with other examples. Out with them!
