I really enjoyed this post about 38 words in other languages that require an exposition to express in English.
#5: Backpfeifengesicht. AKA a "Schiff".
#18: Layogenic. Related to a "butterface". Somewhat related to #19, Bakku-shan.
#29: L’esprit de l’escalier. We've all done that before.
#36: Luftmensch. Roughly translates as "Democratic candidates for President."
#37 and 38: Explains part of the theme song for Laverne and Shirley.

Worth reading just to find the origin of the LaVerne & Shirley song!
