Honestly, as a German I can not quite understand the obsession of the English speaking world with the question whether a word exists or not. If you have to express something for which there is no word, you have to make a new one, preferably by combining well-known words, and in the very same moment it starts to exist. Agree?

My villain origin story is German translations using formal „You“ between love interests or really good friends, even though they are on first name basis (no one here in Germany would be on first name basis AND use the formal „You“) and only switch to informal You after they have sex
