Words that don't exist in
English but definitely should:
(which all happen to have to do with food)
Kummerspeck (German) When you eat because
you're stressed (stressed is dessert spelled
backwards). This word means the weight you gain from emotional
eating.
Shemomedjamo (Georgian) Legit means "I
accidentally ate the whole thing." AKA story of my life.
Georgians feel my pain.
Pelinti (Buli, Ghana) Do you ever take a bite
of something then soon realize it's wayy to hot?
This word describes the "Argghhh" noise you make as
you try to move the food around your mouth. It translates to
"To move hot food around in your mouth."
Palegg (Norwegian) The Norwegians have created
a word to describe anything you can put on a sandwich. Yup - Pb
n J, Turkey, Nutella, you name it. (I'm not sure exactly
how badly we need this word, but you never know).
Lagom (Swedish) The word that means 'not
tooo much, but not tooo little'. I'll use this next
time I need lagom toppings, dressings, you name it, on
food!
