Definition of "angstskrik":

the appropriate response to finding out that the huge bundle of brochures someone has jammed in your mailslot so tightly that you need to stand out in the cold for five minutes to extract it consists of 50% pro- and anti-EU propoganda. (The other 50% was traditional, guilt-inducing, spend-your-money-here Christmas catalogs/ads.)
