Things that no word exists for ... but it should

[NightJohnBoy]

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

My (adult child 🤔) has inspired me.

He's going on holiday tomorrow, there should be a name for the nervous excitement and anticipation for something you're really looking forward to and you don't quite know what to do with yourself.

We certainly do 🤣

The pain you get in your tummy or foof when you see someone injured - mingered??

Also, more distinction between family members eg
BiL when it's your sister's husband vs BiL when it's your husband's brother
Maternal Grandma vs Paternal Grandma, etc

Korean has seperate words for various family members.

What about a word for when someone gives you something they want to get rid of but make out they are giving you a present?

Someone who is convinced she is your best friend, though you actually find her rather irritating and try to avoid her.

I came on this thread for exactly that: besan.

Such a handy word: 'Thank God we like the besan... Yes, they're coming to stay the night before their flight...'

Didn't the Hobbits call them mathoms? Things that get passed around and around and around, like dodgy bottle of rose wine that have seen so many school tombolas that the labels are marked and stained?

Edith mathoms sounds good, I’ll remember that.
Also, apparently Norwegians have a word for that period of time between Christmas and New Year.

Humiditties!!!

I'm dead 😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏

That's called gastric reflux

That feeling of being excited about who your dc is growing up to be and sad about the loss of the tiny person they were and proud and filled to the brim with love at the perfection they are right now and also really tired and a bit fed up because being a parent is really hard work. I keep finding myself trying to explain this to younger child free friends/ siblings and can never capture what I'm trying to say and I probably sound a bit unhinged and overly emotional.

Similarly the duality of being endlessly and overwhelmingly relieved to be out of the baby stage and never being pregnant again and not dealing with 2 year old tantrums any more while simultaneously cooing at babies and small toddlers and mistily wishing you had one too.

@Andante57 that would be a cunt.

This thread has made my night 😄 Thank you ladies.

😂😂😂😂

You win. 🎉🏆

I call those Mumditches, because it is generally my mother, er donating her cast-off nonsense...

I propose a new word: boriswaffle.

I'll leave you to guess what it means.

Reminds me of Steve Martin in The Man with Two Brains with the unpronouncable name, Dr Faharrahharrr

Genius lol 😂

😂

“ Merryneum “ (perineum)

“twixtmas”

(susie dent!)

That's a verp in my house, a vomit/burp thing 😄

@flurryofcurry in our house it's a wanger

We call that dejà mange....the feeling that you've eaten it before!
