Some of the peeps here in the office
loved "Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung" which is speed limit.

Very good tip:
When dealing with multilanguage sites/products/GUIs, use german or french as the first test language, all others will fit nicely.

I had my share trying to fit "zurechtschneiden" on a 100px "crop" button lately.
