I've been speading the word
"Luftschweinchen" with German speakers, for a replacement of "Fledermaus" - both mean bat (the small type, not the flying fox, thats "Flughund").*
I know for sure I invented that one, and Slippers as opposed to Tschuess (It sounds like Shoes!).
So hah!
*Fledermaus = Flutter Mouse
Luftschweinchen = Little sky-pig
