True story: I was visiting my German grandmother with my wife a few years back, and I had been trying to teach myself German at the time.

At some point my wife asked me what the word for gloves was. Not knowing the actual word in German, I decided to come up with the most absurd construction I could think of just to be funny.

She wasn't buying it. "There's no way they're called hand-shoes."

I told her to ask my grandmother if she didn't believe me, figuring we'd all have a laugh about it. So she did, and my Grandmother with a completely straight face replies, "Yes, of course, Handschuhe, what else would they be called?"
