Stehpinklers and Sitzpinklers

German is a very versatile language for expressing compound ideas.   Apparently, they must be deep thinkers.  This article gives an example:

 http://www.thelocal.de/20150122/court-allows-man-to-urinate-standing-up

 Apparently, the language of Goethe has specific words for people who pee standing up and those who pee while seated:

 Stehpinkler - standing urinator
Sitzpinkler - sitting urinator

 The article further declares that urinating while seated is more socially responsible behavior.  Furthermore, you can get a device that 
admonishes standing pee-ers to sit down and sounds like Gerhard Schroder or Helmut Kohl.  What, no Angela Merkel model?

 [Voice]  "Sitzen, dumkoff!"

 It's still okay to be a stehpinkler in Huntsville.
