minus-square🐑🇸 🇭 🇪 🇪 🇵 🇱 🇪🐑linkfedilinkEnglish55•2 years agoAs a German, this word was compounded incorrectly anyway. Adjectives don’t get compounded. So it would be “Beweglicher Torpfostenkrieg”
minus-squareOoopslinkfedilink11•edit-22 years agoIt’s actually quite easy to correct, so why not mention it? Make that “moving goal post war” a “goal post movement war” and now it’s all nouns and valid to compound them.

minus-squareTurunlinkfedilinkEnglish22•edit-22 years agoThis is wrong. That would describe a certain type of war, but specify that the war is movable. I think the “Torpfostverschiebekrieg” mentioned in another comment would be the best solution.
minus-square@SubArcticTundra@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglish9•2 years agoBut surely wouldn’t that imply the existence of such thing as a ‘goal post war’? Because the term is meant to mean ‘(moving goal post) (war)’, and not ‘(moving) (goal post war)’
