    sonder:

    n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.

    (This one is a hard one to fully understand/feel. I imagine only a few "substances" could allow you to truly feel the complexity/awe of this word.)

    One to Ponder on. Time for some zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz's so I will leave it with you all

    Fleshment

    : excitement associated with a successful beginning

    Example:

    "For him attempting who was self-subdu'd; and, in the fleshment of this dead exploit, drew on me here again." – William Shakespeare,King Lear, 1623


    There would not appear to be a corresponding word in English for 'the crushing sense of defeat attending the realization that things will not work out as planned' (unless you feel that maturity fits the bill), which is rather a shame. But fleshment carries such a lovely meaning that it is worth more attention.

    Obviously Not my Words as I am not that Clever But.................... it's a good one. YES? :thumbsup:

    Ultracrepidarianism
    The habit of giving opinions and advice on matters outside of one's knowledge.

    I think I'm guilty of this.

    Tittynope ( n. – a small quantity of something left over )

    It's not refusing your wife or girlfriends breast. It's those hundreds of the bits of left over food that your wife or girlfriend puts in the fridge and never uses
