What new word have you learned today? Or have you invented any words for things yourself?

Today I learned the word - anomie - which means “lack of the usual social or ethical standards in an individual or group” and “the condition in which society provides little moral guidance to individuals" - concept popularised by Durkheim.

I also discovered that sadly there is no one word to cohesively and satisfyingly descibe the noises made as affirmative interjections by an engaged listener when listening to someone else speak (oooh, ahhh, uhhuh, mmm) in order to positively facilitate the continued speaking and signal their active participation in receiving the information. Technically, they’re called non-lexical conversational sounds, but I feel disappointed by the English language (on this occasion) to not have a descriptive word that encompasses the beauty of these utterances. There needs to be one invented. Any ideas?

On a completely separate note, do you prefer the spelling of the word meaning ‘exchange’ to be spelled “swap” or “swop”? Both are absolutely acceptable, by the way. I’m just running a poll of who likes which. And which do you think I prefer?

I cam across a word whilst watching an episode of '8 out of 10 cats does countdown' the other night...

the word is CLERIHEW, (named after its inventor Edmund Bentley Clerihew) and it is a short comic or nonsensical verse, typically in two rhyming couplets with lines of unequal length, and referring to a famous person...

for example

Sir Christopher Wren

said 'I am going to dine with

some men

if anyone calls say I'm designing St Pauls'

I'd say swap too

From persiflage to pierce my vag?

Big up to George. It was one of Orwell’s books that influenced my choice of work.

Yes. It's a less widely known fact that George was a frustrated Fabber... "

"Souplesse

Meaning?"

It’s a French word, the basic translation is flexibility, but in cycling, it’s used to describe a pro rider who is flying, with a fluid motion that makes it look effortless. You can feel it when you’re riding sometimes, but not very often, it’s like traveling without moving. It’s the perfect storm between grace and power.

Iktsuarpok (Inuit)

You know that feeling of anticipation when you’re waiting for someone to show up at your house and you keep going outside to see if they’re there yet? This is the word for it.

Very appropriate for fab and all those no shows...

Skitters, an Irish word. Probably used more often in this context, "I've got the skitters." The person I was talking with used it in this context, "little skitters.". Skitters, shits.

A word I discovered in A Level Latin years ago.

Synecdoche.

Meaning when a part is used to refer to the whole.

E.g.

“Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them.”

Hand obviously meaning the sculptor of Ozymandias.

Not new but always liked that word.

Swap
