Everyone’s like “those Germans have a word for everything” but English has a word for tricking someone into watching the music video for Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up.
English has a lot more words created for very specific phenomena! It’s not just rick-rolling. Language is always evolving and it’s super interesting! Here’s a list of hyper-specific/untranslatable words in English.

I knew we worked better as friends and how fucking cliche
Of me to say
But I really didn’t want to ruin a friendship like that.
But then I got drunk; I got myself fucked up.
Then I kissed that boy; I got myself fucked up.
That night I thought I sorta fell in love.. but really, I got myself fucked up.
The next morning we said goodbye, and I still had myself fucked up.
The next four weeks we barley talked and I had myself way too fucked up.
I knew I didn’t want to ruin a friendship like that.
We were best friends for a minute there.
And then I ruined a friendship like that.
