Compretence 

Pretending to have competence in an area, usually in a professional setting, where one's ability to pretend to know a subject may go further than actual knowledge. Think Dilbert + competence + pretense
Jesper's compretence led him to rise quickly in the company.

Comprehenderendement

2. If you are too retarded to say 'Compris' in french and that falls out instead.

3. Say it backwards.
To comprehenderendement the situation he said 'I'M AN ADULT, SO I THREW IT ON THE GROUND.'
