[[Späteankunftschande]] is counterpointed in German speaking cultures with the similarly untranslatable [[früheankunftfreude]]. | A German word for which there is no English equivalent, but which refers to the shame and disappointment (also unknown in English speaking societies) of being late to, or last to join, a [[conference call]]<ref>Technically, it can refer to any unpleasant but formally sanctioned collective activity: attending church, family gatherings, parent-teacher evenings and so on.</ref>.
