German cockroaches are a species of cockroach that like to live in warm, humid places close to food and moisture sources. They are frequently found in residential and commercial kitchen environments, and bathrooms, so these are the two most likely places for an infestation to occur. It is found worldwide. It is a common pest of households and storage facilities in much of the world.

A German thing

A German thing is something that is complicated in a way that doesn't make sense. And When Germans start it explaining, you get lost because they are talking something in a way that they believe it's smart and clever you need just to think hard to grasp it but in reality they are just shitting around.

There are synonyms, too:
German thing = Beurocracy,
German thing = "Scientific" paper writing to get funds
German thing = online meetings, at least 5 meetings per day, when no one really knows why they do that
German thing = no one's responsibility

A German thing can be generalized and can be used to describe unclear/don't get your head around thing

Stay away from being caught in it, mate, pretty shitty thing!
