When looked upon closely, language is fascinating. It's miraculous how we have been able to create individual words that all have their own definition, and based on how they are combined, can create entirely distinct meanings. That is why I constantly strive to aggrandize my vernacular (Ha!). Every now and then I hope to post a certain word that is just so fantastical, or just so bizarre, that I feel like it should be used more often in daily speech. Here's the first word:
Mamihlapinatapai – Noun
"A look shared by two people with each wishing that the other will initiate something that both desire but which neither one wants to start."
Romantic, no? How many times have you experienced mamihlapinatapai? :)
Loving vibes & virtual kisses,
Michelle
