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!

- No, not by default, but it can be used to gain wide access, depending on how it's configured.
- How's that?
- They can elevate or assign users (including themselves) into high-level roles that could give access to everything, if not restricted.
- "if not restricted"?!
- ...
- So, that's a German thing.
- Yes!

It is sort of like the "that's what she said" jokes. You say it in response to someone saying something that may soun weird out of context. It's only known reference is in the Netflix movie Wine Country.
