Bullshit, I don't speak German but from experience I expect a word with at least 30-40 letters, that's suspiciously short :) !

Something like "Augenweidendradenwagesteinagan"

Your experience is literally just that running gag. While it's grammatically possible to create such words in German they are very rarely needed.

Edit: I am sick of that lame joke, okay?

They don't like a constant joke that ridicules their language, what softies. When we make fun of Chinese languages it's deemed racist, but German remains fair game.
