strassle

Like "smog",
"strassle" is a portmanteau word for the combination of two unpleasant things: just as "smog" is a combination of smoke and fog, "strassle" is a combination of stress and hassle, i.e. indicating a thoroughly annoying/depressing/draining experience or series of experiences.

No fun this last week I'm afraid - just one load of strassle after another! Unbelievable!
