Handschuhe und Pferdegranaten

Are you joking or do you really think, the second one is a word used in german? I cannot tell. It is not.

It's a reference to the saying "Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades"

The second word is a (probably poorly, I hardly know any German) made-up compound word for "horse grenades", so it's handshoes and horse grenades instead
