We need a word for sweaty under boob discomfort, or at least I do.

Always been called a wanger in my house.

When you’re hungry
but don’t fancy anything at all

when you’re looking for a movie or a tv show that’s the same to one you’ve watched but new
like a doppelgänger show

Humidititties 😂😂😂
thats honestly completely made my day

butterflyflutterby123 · 19/07/2022 23:46

When your taste buds want food but stomach doesn't. 'mouthy'

ClinkyMonkey · 20/07/2022 00:03

When you have an itch of undetermined location and have to keep chasing it around. I usually call it bloody bastard itch ... but that's frustration talking.

Love the humidititties though😂

Someone who isn't me did this in reverse and asked for possible definitions for the word "farage". The winner was "the liquid that stagnates at the bottom of a fetid wheelie bin" or something similar. Always made me smile.

FairyBatman · 20/07/2022 00:16

That feeling of squeaky teeth when you have to touch something made of wool, especially when it’s wet?

Also when you do a single hiccup but it’s really hard and hurts…

Squiff70 · 20/07/2022 00:24

When you want something to eat but there's literally nothing you fancy.

Mumtumtastic · 20/07/2022 00:28

When you’re really really tired but can’t be bothered to get up and get yourself ready for bed (and actually go to bed)

(and linger on not really watching tele but have it on anyway and carry on browsing mumsnet! 😄)

OakTreex · 20/07/2022 00:30

When you love someone/something so much you want to squeeze them/it to death or bite/eat them Grin

Always been called a wanger in my house.

We call it the whacker and I think its actually called a ball launcher?

A word for a person who loses a child.

DesdamonasHandkerchief · 20/07/2022 12:41

Adult children. To save the "Yes I have children, well they're not children anymore - all in their 20's ...' conversation.

pepsirolla · 20/07/2022 12:50

The feeling when you turn a pillow over onto the cool side

Time40 · 20/07/2022 12:57

Someone has beaten me to posting a link to The Meaning of Liff (it's absolutely brilliant and hilarious, and there is an expanded version now, The Deeper Meaning of Liff)

When you feel a sneeze coming and you're looking forward to it and suddenly it disappears

There is a Liff word for this - it's Amersham (from the tube station, where allegedly the rails sometimes rattle but a train doesn't come).

Piemam · 20/07/2022 19:58

Love this! And @TheWayoftheLeaf, that is 👏🏾 amazing- using that whenever, wherever henceforth!

Mine is penis-tence, as in penitence paid via whatever you need for lack of dick, or a slight wrong that needs punishment.

Ilikecheesycrackers · 20/07/2022 20:02

That feeling when you really really need a pee but are half asleep and don't want to get up.
