    Is there a word, possibly German, for when you discover that the person you got douchey vibes off for years but couldn’t quite pin down why, is revealed to be exactly what you suspected? I just had flashbacks to Will Smith at the Oscars.

      There is not, at least in german. But german offers us the possibility of making one. I´ll use the Zangendeutsch for douche, “Dusche”, then “Verdacht” for the suspicion, “Bestätigung” for its revelation as true and “Moment” which is german for, well, moment. Put in some suffixes (-en and -s) for grammatical reasons et voila: Duschenverdachtsbestätigungsmoment, a brand new german word meaning “the moment of the confirmation of the suspicion of the douche”.
