This weeks word Geheimratsecke describes mens receding hairlines in a way that might be taken as a compliment rather than a sign that youre losing your hair. Literally translating to secret advice corner, Geheimratsecke describes the loss of hair around the temples. The term alludes to the honor and wisdom of the Geheimrat (Privy Council), a title given to the highest advisory officials of the monarch. Their jobs must have strained them so that they developed a bald corner (Ecke). Thus, learning this word might save you from going bald while mastering the German language.
