This sounds like a shower thought I would have but when someone else says it, it just seems reductive and incorrect. The Germans probably have a word for this phenomenon.
I was just having a discussion with my family about recent union wins in the US, and when something good is a sign of how bad things must be. I suggested that there must be a german word for it, and my sister suggested maybe a chinese saying.
If you like the category of 'things that sound like german has a word for it', look into the 4-character chinese sayings called chengyu. One of my favourites is 'Melon Patch, Under Plum', meaning something that is completely innocent but should be avoided because it looks really sketchy. Don't tie your shoes in a melon patch or fix your hat under a plum tree.
