Where this word comes from

Blend of Maus (“mouse”) + ausrutschen (“to slip”). Coined in Feburary 2016 as the Twitter hashtag "#mausgerutscht" in reaction to the claims of AfD functionary Beatrix von Storch that a heavily criticized Facebook post of hers had been a "slip of the mouse", i.e. not intentional.
