en-trümp-eln

German, verb. To clean out, to clear out.

From the 30th anniversary edition of the wonderful Phantom Tollbooth appreciation by Maurice Sendak:

„Things have gone from bad to worse to ugly. The dumbing down of America is proceeding apace. [Norton] Juster‘s allegorical monsters have become all too real. The Demons of Ignorance, the Gross Exaggeration …and the shabby Threadbare Excuse are inside the walls of the Kingdom of Wisdom, while the Gorgons of Hate and Malice, the Overbearing Know-It-All, and most especially the Triple Demons of Compromise are already established in high office all over the world. The fair princesses, Rhyme and Reason, have obviously been banished again.“
