Ok, today isn't the 1st of April, so I will reply with something
bizarre that is reality. In Germany the official term for somebody
doing street-based social work is a misleading Anglicism, it's a
"Streetworker". This isn't a joke.

"Streetworker (von englisch street worker) sind in der Regel
diplomierte Sozialarbeiter" - https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streetwork
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
the above translated is "social worker with an academic degree", but
seemingly without any knowledge about the English language.
