IIRC German does -end to form a present participle (adjective), -ant is French...

Even so, performant is good German. Duden | Suchen | performant Adjektiv - leistungsfähig, gut funktionierend (efficient, functioning well).

This differs from the French, Définitions : performant, performante - Dictionnaire de français Larousse Qui obtient des résultats remarquables eu égard aux moyens mis en œuvre. (That which gets remarkable results in regard to the means used.)

I know the tittle, I assumed it was sarcasm.

Pedants->Pendants(dangly bits) seemed appropriate and someone missed the jibe hence whoosh.

Given the OP has a history of lazy spelling and bad puns it could be either!

I like the adjective "performant" meaning "high performing" or "performing well". It's part of German, but not officially (yet) part of English - but it's useful and people, even non-German speakers, understand it.

IIRC German does -end to form a present participle (adjective), -ant is French. And indeed the French dictionary on my phone has performant(e)- adj high-return or high-performance, though oddly performer (as in to perform) isn't in there.

It's a perfectly cromulant word.

Scots use the word outwith (ie. 'opposite of within') all the time. When I first moved here, I used to take great delight in telling them that it's not a word. It's not a word, by the way.But unfortunately, they've ground me down and whilst I would never use it myself, I understand what it means and it has a distinct purpose and clarity that 'without' doesnt provide.

Don't tell them I said that, though.

Better let Collins & OED know
