Have you ever looked for a word to describe something but couldn't find the right ones? I know it happens to me a lot, but this word got me thinking: "mamihlatanapai". The most succinct word in any language, it means "'Looking at each other hoping that the other person will do something that both parties want but neither is willing to do."
Personally, I think there needs to be a word for that feeling that slightly woozy feeling you get when the elevator reaches your floor.

Well, if there isn't a word for it, then I guess it should be a made-up one
 How about...daddleswaddlekinsip!Btw, I made up a word a while ago..."snacklegorfed." It means you have gone to the bathroom, but didn't use the toilet. You showered, washed your hands, brushed your teeth or something. |
