Grünin
German
Etymology
From Grüner (“member of a Green party”) + -in (“female suffix”). The formation is ungrammatical because -in cannot be added to nominalised adjectives. It is used to ridicule the party’s perceived obsession with gender-neutral language. Compare similar formations like Menschin (“female human being”).
Pronunciation
