I found a great new word yesterday: "Amoklauffer."

It's German. It translates to English roughly as "runner amok," or "one who runs amok."

can think of several uses, can't you?

Oh, the word was used in a pro-Hitler (like there were any other kind by then) newspaper describing the Poles as Hitler warmed up to invading Poland....

oh yes, lots of uses for this word.
