Schwamm drüber - dont worry about it (literally means "sponge about it")
salonfähig - socially acceptable (literally "salon-ready, salon-worthy)
Fremdscham - vicarious cringe/embarassment
Fernweh - away-sickness (opposite of homesickness, which German has too - Heimweh)

sturm und drang
entscheidungsproblem
