Meister
''Meister'' () means 'master' in German (as in master craftsman, or as an honorific title such as Meister Eckhart). The word is akin to master and maestro. In sports, ''Meister'' is used for the current national, European or world champion (e.g. ''Deutscher Meister'', ''Europameister'', ''Weltmeister'').''Meister'', in compositions such as ''Polizeimeister'' or ''Wachtmeister'', has a tradition in the ranks of various German police forces, partially also in Switzerland. During the Second World War, ''Meister'' was the highest enlisted rank of the German ''Ordnungspolizei''. In professional life, ''Meister'' usually refers to a higher degree in vocational education.
''Meister'' has been borrowed into English slang, where it is used in compound nouns. A person referred to as “Meister” is one who has extensive theoretical knowledge and practical skills in his profession, business, or some other kind of work or activity. For example, a “puzzle-meister” would be someone highly skilled at solving puzzles. These neologisms sometimes have a sarcastic intent (for example, “stubble-meister” for someone with a short, neat beard, or “crier-meister” for someone who often cries). Provided by Wikipedia
