Usage notes

Unlike in English, this word, the more so its verb, is unlikely known to German speakers, and apart from translations from English rather an exotism with a tendency to be applied to herds in America, in Western stories and the like. Alternatives in German are, depending on the context, Ansturm, Auflauf, Strom, Panik, and compositions like Massenauflauf, Massenpanik, Besucheransturm.
