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 :(

1. Someone who's not really a friend but you know them. I suppose acquaintance but that's not quite right?

1. Something you probably did learn/know once but have now forgotten. There should be a word for that.

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

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! 😄)

Yes!!!! These!!!

When you’re newly single and start dating again, but you meet someone amazing on date 1… and you wonder should I keep dating and try out more or keep this perfect one?!

There has to be a word for that feeling of exasperation you get while standing at the checkout behind another customer who is taking all the time in the world.

That’s called FFS!!!!!! 😂

This was mentioned on QI once. Apparently it’s called “cuddle aggression”.

These words exist in Gujarati too, maybe in Punjabi as well

Hahahaha love this!

I remember this fondly. I said to school class mate in first school (many many many years ago!) about this picture of a baby tiger and I said "I could kill it it's that cute!!!" And I got the look of all looks!! I bet she thinks I'm a serial killer now

The combination of regret and nostalgia I feel when I look back on my youth and wish I’d done more with it.

When people inadvertently reveal the truth by blurting out an answer to a question they haven’t been asked. E.g. “I’m not drunk”, “I’m not difficult to work for”, “I’m a nice guy”, or in the case of a 1940s murderer, “I didn’t start the fire”.

I want to be your neighbor! We'd SO get along!

When you make two mistakes that cancel each other out. E.g. as a teenager, I once forgot my house keys, but I could still get in as I’d also forgotten to lock the front door 🤦‍♀️

Think it's called a mini sick

One word for 'aunts and uncles'. Most other family relationships have a plural regardless of gender - parents, grandparents, siblings, niblings, cousins - but this one doesn't.

😂😂😂😂 loved that! Thanks for the giggles 👍🏻👍🏻

@ClinkyMonkey I've always called it an itch worm 🤣

(This one actually exists in German)
Kummelspek
Literally translated means "grief bacon"
It's their word for over eating because you're miserable
Sadly very appropriate for me sometimes 😩

Amazing

That is brilliant… and one I shall use from here on in!!

We call it a “wanger” 😄

The lull of when a series binge ends or a good book.

That’s reflux, I think.

@BoxOfCats , that reminded me of when a dd was on her German exchange trip and was trying to find the German words for why she was uncomfortably wriggling (my pants are up my crack).

After a few attempts light dawned in the German girl’s eyes. ‘Ah! Meine Unterhose klampft im Arsch!’ 😂

(IIRC there should be an umlaut over the a in klampft)

these made my day too 🤗
mine is that irritation when you wish something should be easier to do and why hasn’t someone sorted it
Or (in the U.K.) the nightmare which is trying to get a GP appointment / medical stuff sorted
LOVE humidititties !!

A wanger is something completely different where I live!

I know this one! It’s a waterbrash!

no idea why - a friend said it 40 years ago and it’s stuck.
