| Oct 15, 2013 at 17:26 | comment | added | Em1 | @Timbo Even if it's not in dictionary, Demo is a word and Effekt is a word, and so is Demoeffekt a valid German word. If it makes sense or if you need this word at all, is a different question. | |
| Oct 15, 2013 at 15:53 | comment | added | Timbo | @divby0 Is Demoeffekt even a german word? I never heard that before. | |
| Oct 15, 2013 at 15:12 | comment | added | divby0 | Or even shorter: Demoeffekt. | |
| Oct 15, 2013 at 14:56 | comment | added | enderland | Yes! I think this is what I was remembering. | |
