feingliedert

Feingeliehrt is a German word that refers to something or someone that is inexplicably or unintentionally adopted or used. The term roughly translates to "learnt unnecessarily" or "learnt by accident."

In everyday language, the term is often used to describe people who are unfamiliar with a particular idiom, expression, or cultural reference, yet somehow manage to use it correctly in a conversation or situation. This can sometimes lead to confusion or amusement, depending on the context and intentions of the person who introduced the term.

Feingeliehrt can also refer to skills or knowledge acquired by accident or without deliberate instruction. For example, a person may pick up a new language or musical instrument without explicitly trying to learn it, through exposure or osmosis.

The term is also sometimes used to describe a situation where someone learns about a topic or activity by watching or observing others, without actually participating or taking direct instruction. This can be seen as an alternative to traditional learning methods, where knowledge or skills are absorbed and retained through passive observation.

Feingeliehrt is a somewhat niche term within the German language, and its usage is not universally accepted or recognized. However, it can be a useful concept for understanding how people acquire new information and skills in an informal or unintentional manner.
