Concepts/things that should have word representation in English.


Recommended Posts

For me one of the tricks to enjoy my vaporizer was to breathe in (gently) rather than taking hits like I would off a joint or cigarette. Perhaps you're already doing this but for me it took some getting used to but once I got the hang of it I didn't want to go back to smoking weed.

dissolve your hash in some liquor over night, mix it with some milk or cream next morning and heat it up gently (don't cook it). then add it to your coffee

toke hard.

Wow I missed a lot of replies between what I was actually responding to and here.

But still, toke hard.  Just in general.

PS I don't even toke soft.

But even if I did, I wouldn't, because I'd toke hard.

Yeah, that works for me.

Making a concentrated effort to stay awake despite feeling physically and mentally exhausted - to overwake oneself.  I am overwaking after a long weekend of next to no sleep so that I may still go to bed at a reasonable hour and wake up fresh tomorrow.  I overwoke yesterday and am too tired to hardtoke today.

And she quit it in less than a wük.

Two Japanese words/concepts that don't have a direct English translation:

1. tatemae - stated reason

2. honne - actual intention

This is supposedly a core principle in most business negotiations.

To keep it real and analog, I'm gonna start posting to WATMM by writing my posts in fountain pen on hemp paper, putting them in bottles, and throwing them into the ocean.

Or, acting c(r)azy

"Oblivitence" - The state of having walked into a room for a specific purpose and completely forgotten what that purpose was.

Covered that one already:

I was going to add a word for that thing where you enter a room to retrieve/do something, but upon entering the room completely forget what that thing was.  This is a daily occurrence for me and a lot of people I'm sure.  But I looked it up, and apparently it's referred to as both "location updating effect" and "doorway effect", both extremely awkward phrases for it imo.  Someone suggested "destinesia" which I think is far more elegant.

Dammit

Destinesia is way better too

Also has it been said, that English lacks a word, which exists in many languages, which is a word to say "yes" in contradiction to a negative statement? This has always been a cause of confusion among English speakers, for example: "You didn't go to the movies did you?" How do you contradict that and say "On the contrary, I did go to the movies!" I know in French the word is "si." I nominate any of the following for English: "Yee", "Yo", "Yay", "Yot", "Yop", or "Yeet".

In Norwegian/Danish/Swedish the word would be Jo, so if you pick that it would make things easier for all the Scandinavians.

Some songs I made with my fingers and electronics. In the process of making some more. Hopefully.
