Even though English and German are both Germanic languages, the two really don't seem all that similar – at least from a layman's perspective.

One such layman, Jimmy Fallon, just had his knowledge of the German language put to the test by a very unimpressed native speaker, Christoph Waltz.

On The Tonight Show, the German-Austrian actor quizzed Fallon on the meaning of some very long German words, including sitzpinkler, waldeinsamkeit, and bezirksschornsteinfegermeister.
