modern day frindle

This is brilliant!

I can relate to SO many of these made up words.

The concept reminds me of my favorite book "Frindle" by Andrew Clements

You've got to check out the website to see all of them but here are some of my favorites:

OPIA: the ambiguous intensity of looking someone in the eye, which can feel simultaneously invasive and vulnerable.


MAUERBAUERTRAURIGKEIT: the inexplicable urge to push people away, even close friends who you really like.


JOUSKA: a hypothetical conversation that you compulsively play out in your head.


RUCKKEHRUNRUHE: the feeling of returning home after an immersive trip only to find it fading rapidly from your awareness.


VEMODALEN: the frustration of photographing something amazing when thousands of identical photos already exist.


Here is an example of me "vemodalening" at the Parthenon in Athens, Greece
