interesting tidbit on Mental Floss this am.
I will be using Pana Po'o quite frequently.

I like Glas wen and Kummerspeck.

I was all yuputka when I read about kummerspeck.

I just love yiddish words. They say things that can't be said in English.

As a jew who grew up in Brooklyn, I should know way more Yiddish than I actually do.

I love that there is apparently an Indonesian word for tapping someone on the other shoulder.

Catherine, my BPAL buddies call that "Ambien ordering," if that helps.

V. Secret bras are like torture to me.

Yes, this is true. But those are especially wire-filled and painful.

One post-breast cancer advantage: no more bras, yay!

Hey, don't forget me! I know too!

I wish there was one word for "niece(s) and nephew(s)". Why isn't there something succinct that describes the children of your sibling?*


*Is there such a word and I just don't know about it? It might be like washing machine lint and dishwasher food traps all over again.

That is EXACTLY what I was coming up with! I think I'm going to start using it.

How about Lookie! Lookie!

Here are a few suggestions Charly,

Good morning
Good afternoon
Good night
Hello
Nice to see you again
Are you following me?
Why do I keep running into you?
Stalker!

Deja vu!

that is one thing to celebrate! Do you have anniversary dates that you mark down, too? I just had my 2nd year cancer-free, woot!

Yay Carol!

Congrats, Carol!

Wonderful news, Carol!

Right now, I would like a word for Rick Santorum, who does not have a problem with 1)higher insurance premiums for people who "make bad choices" or have pre-existing conditions or 2)insurance companies who drop individuals for any reason they want.

Toolski? Jerkesque? Nimrod-like?

I'm glad Carol. - YAY!

Congrats Carol and pjreads!

Douchebag works pretty well.

As does "Santorum," according to Google.

Quite.

Catherine, there is a word--Schadenfreude.

Schadenfreude is a wonderful word.

I really like it.

Doppelganger is a word I never get to use enough.

I bet your Doppelgänger uses it all the time.

Aren't all bras torture to you?"

I'm crossing into TMI land with this next statement: I hate sweaty tits and with my aged rack, ..."

Amen Sista

I'm always disappointed that my doppelganger is prettier.
