unless you are from iceland, you are probably wondering.

it is a word.

yes, from iceland.

it apparently means, "key ring of the key chain of the outer door to the storage tool shed of the road workers on the Vaðlaheiði".

what language or nation possibly needs a word for that? and how many times has it ever been used? before today.

I thought you had verbal diarrhea Ken.

The language is based on a very old version of Danish if i remember correctly. Terrible language to learn but a stunning country and amazing people, highly recommend visiting.

I spent 3 months at high school (boarding school) boredom homework evenings memorizing this welsh towns name. 40 years later it’s still stuck to the cortex ??

what's the word for that fish that's canned while it's still fermenting?

That would be surströmming, a Swedish delicacy.  If you have a few spare tins, send them my way -- I love that stuff.

I offer for your consideration two German terms:

the GRUNDSTÜCKSVERKEHRSGENEHMIGUNGSZUSTÄNDIGKEITSÜBERTRAGUNGSVERORDNUNG, or "regulation for the transfer of responsibility for approving traffic access to a property";

and the RINDFLEISCHETIKETTIERUNGSÜBERWACHUNGSAUFGABENÜBERTRAGUNGSGESETZ, or "the law for transferring the responsibility for monitoring the labelling of beef", abbreviated by German lawyers to "RkReÜAÜG".
