Ja.  In English if you are missing a word, you can do the classic thing and
borrow one from another language.  I prefer German for this purpose.
 
The German term schraube means screw (the metal fastener) but since we are
borrowing and adapting the term, we can go with the verb form schrauben and
use a little cross-language creativity to make the suffix schrauben, meaning
to screw it.  This is a common Yankeeism for something one does not like,
but isn't something to be feared exactly.
 
One who has trafficschrauben is one who does not like traffic.  Tea Party
followers are taxschraubens.
