More Words for Singles' Awareness Day...

So, as a continuation of last week's blog... I give you more words to use on your significant other this "Fake Attention and Friends" Day:
    Forelske: A Danish word, meaning To Fall in Love. I love how it's a single word, as opposed to English, where we need 4 words to get the point across.  (I forelskede (past tense) with food a few days ago.)
     This next really wonderful word comes from the Hindi Language.  Jaaneman (जानेमन) is a gender-neutral word that is the equivalent of Honey, or Sweetheart. It's a term of endearment that literally means "Soul of Me," rather, Soulmate.
     Everybody knows that French is an incredibly romantic language. And that's pretty much proven in the phrase, la douleur exquise, literally, the Loving Pain. And that's basically what it means. "The Heart-wrenching pain of wanting the affection of someone unobtainable."
     The Yiddish language gives us the word b'shert:
    So, the Portuguese have this whole Love thing down. Saudade, which literally translates to yearning, is given a much deeper meaning. Used in context correctly, it can mean "A nostolgic feeling of wanting someone who has gone and lost. A love that remains."  I think America needs to get their act together when it comes to romantic words.
   I don't know where this word comes from, but to Mimp is to talk affectionately, or to purse the lips.

And, just to relate to anyone lonely this Friday:
    A Boreist is someone who could make you fall asleep on a first date. Someone really boring. Going on and on and on and on about their lives. Never going into detail. Not forming full sentances. People who spell "sentences" wrong.  People that resemble this definition.
     Accismus is when you pretend to not be interested in something or someone, when really, you can't imagine a life without them in it.
     And, many lonely people will be Heimgangers on Friday night. Yes. They are the people that stay sitting at home.

OKAY. SO I FOUND THIS WORD. IT'S COMPLETELY UNRELATED TO THIS WHOLE SUBJECT, BUT I WANT TO SHARE THE SHORT DEFINITION WITH YOU.
 To Quagswag (Which is really the best part of the word...) something means you shake it back and forth.


So, enjoy your Forced Romance Day. I wish you many good Red Paper Crap days in the future.
