The German word for turkey is Pute (or Truthahn, there’s almost always a synonym for basically anything, but that’s used slightly less with cold cuts and more with the bird itself) and I work somewhere where I have to ask whether something is with ham or turkey like 20x a day. Every time, but especially when speaking to a Spanish speaker, I worry that I’m going to mispronounce it.
I can switch to Putenbrust, but that doesn’t help my brain from shouting “slut tit” at me every time I say it.

This is my new favorite word in German. Putenbrust really rolls off the tongue.
