We need more words to be invented...

I was thinking earlier about the fact that other languages have words which can’t be translated into English (or at least they can’t be easily translated) - often German ones. I think, however, that there are words that don’t currently exist in any language that could do with existing. For example:

The feeling of satisfaction you get when weighing an ingredient and tipping the exact correct amount out the first time.

The rage you feel when cutting into a “ripe and ready” avocado only to find that it’s hard enough to be used in a cricket match.

So AIBU to think we could do with a few new words and, if I’m not, ask what your words would describe?

Well havent you just described those feelings using words?
Why does that have to be only 1 word per feeling?
A combination of words do the job perfectly well.
If we had to have 1 word for every single avavodo related occasion, the dictionary would be neverending
Yabu. Unless you are being lighthearted, which obviously you are. In which case,I would like a word for the feeling you get when you discover the only thing left in the after eights box is the wrappers
