白左 (baizuo) a self-important, moralistic Western leftist

OMG the Chinese invented a word for Little Owen Jones?

Not quite where you started, but I want a word for my daughter's MIL. We're friends and live around the corner from each other, so often need to introduce the other to someone and there's just no good word for our relationship. We end up saying "our children are married to each other", which feels a bit inadequate.

There is a word for this in hindi/ punjabi- Sass .

Also in punjabi different name for dads sister. Dads sister's husband.

Dads brother. Dads brothers wife.

Mums sister. Mums sister husband.

Mums brother, mums brothers wife.

Also different names for grandchi6if they are form your son or daughter.

So a son of your son has a different name than the son of your daughter, but both words means grandson, just makes it more obvious what their relationship Is to you.
Also same with niece and nephew, it makes it obvious if it's your brothers kid or sisters.

And a lot more family words that explain exactly how the person is related to you.

I thought wallah was a real word from India. I'm sure I've seen it in books about the British Raj - a servant who makes the tea referred to as the tea wallah for instance.

That's true, when we lived in Gib there was the dobie wallah who did laundry.

Loving the comment about a word being ‘made up’. That’s all words, surely?

Agree Gwrach - hiraeth has no direct translation and I love your definition. As a Welshie living in England, I feel it.

Saudade (Brazilian Portuguese) an intense sadness or longing, kind of melancholy.

And Portuguese Portuguese too.

Paraat - South African word for very self disciplined, or boringly straight laced!

In Spanish she'd be your consuegra

Que is a real word - for example, to que someone when to do or say something i.e. a prompter im a theatre or a stage management assistant queing someone that they are next due out on the stage.

In Spanish this exists, 'consuegros' you and your daughter's MIL are consuegras, roughly translates as 'co in-laws'.

As for the op's list, can we add the use of 'pacific' /'pacifically', I've heard some quite senior people use it at work.

There is a word in DH's language (kabyle) to describe when you don't want to eat something that someone else has made because you are not sure about that person's hygiene standards in the kitchen.

I am sure it would be very useful on MN!

Oh. I thought it was cue like cue cards

Ah I thought it was when I saw it in the OP, but English isn’t my first language so I doubted myself.

Obviously, 'diary' is a word but I am pretty much certain your child isn't allergic to it. Nor does she risk 'annflaxis' from contact with the 4th June.

Pining

Upmost.

I hate it.

@Alonelonelylonersbadidea

That's exactly what a wallah is *@MrsAvocet* and I use it all the time. I love it! Did the person above really mean wallah or voilà?

They meant writing wallah when the person actually had meant to write violà. I’ve seen it here and on other platforms more than once! Makes my itch.

That’s cue, isn’t it?

Thankyou.

My apologies, I had posted and then realised that, although the words sound exactly the same when spoken, are in fact spelt differently - I was referring to "CUE" not "QUE". Mea culpa!

Every day I drive past 'Le Petite Spa', it fucking winds me up!

That's cue, surely? When I did my fitness instructor training I learned to cue the next move, not que it.

Sorry cross posted!

Are you sure? They were definitely called cue cards when I was in the theatre.
