I'm German, and there are many Anglicisms in the contemporary German language. Some are rather off the Englisg origin (try to figure out what a "Handy" is - and if You already know don't spoil it by telling it loud ;) ).

I once saw a car of a plumber with an adertising for his work. Most prominently were the two words
bad design

"Bad" is the German word for bath, nevertheless I thought this was a bad advertising :) :D
