To attempt to dodge, but instead 'dodge' into; To make an attempt to dodge, but by that very attempt get hit, at which point you would be better off not doing anything.
Etymology: From Anakin Skywalker, a character in George Lucas' Star Wars hexalogy. Possibly from Ken Annakin (George Lucas' friend), or from the Anakim.
The act of smelling a book, especially an old book.
"... bibliosmia, meaning the act of smelling books, especially as a way of getting a ‘fix’ from the aroma of old tomes. Let’s get this coinage out there — I reckon there are more bibliosmiacs out there than many people would realise. It’s time we stood up, book in hand, to be counted."
It is American humorist H. L. Mencken’s coinage, and it refers to people who read too much. Is there such a thing as reading too much? Well, Mencken thought so: ‘There are some people who read too much: the bibliobibuli. I know some who are constantly drunk on books, as other men are drunk on whiskey or religion. They wander through this most diverting and stimulating of worlds in a haze, seeing nothing and hearing nothing.’
Adjective used to describe someone who always has a book with them. The phrase first appears in Scottish novelist and poet Sir Walter Scott’s celebrated 1805 poem The Lay of the Last Minstrel.
"Another Greek love was the mature love known as pragma. This was the deep understanding that developed between long-married couples.
Pragma was about making compromises to help the relationship work over time, and showing patience and tolerance.
The psychoanalyst Erich Fromm said that we expend too much energy on "falling in love" and need to learn more how to "stand in love." Pragma is precisely about standing in love—making an effort to give love rather than just receive it. With about a third of first marriages in the U.S. ending through divorce or separation in the first 10 years, the Greeks would surely think we should bring a serious dose of pragma into our relationships."
"This was the Greeks' idea of playful love, which referred to the affection between children or young lovers. We've all had a taste of it in the flirting and teasing in the early stages of a relationship. But we also live out our ludus when we sit around in a bar bantering and laughing with friends, or when we go out dancing.
Dancing with strangers may be the ultimate ludic activity, almost a playful substitute for sex itself. Social norms may frown on this kind of adult frivolity, but a little more ludus might be just what we need to spice up our love lives."
When at night your brain functions change somewhat. For some they just lose focus. For others they get off on tangents, and are easily diverted. Still others feel the need to catalogue stuff, whether off of or on Wordnik...
German. It means climbing in a window to have sex with your significant other (but not spouse) so that someone else in the house, ostensibly his or her parent or spouse, will not know.
Perhaps it is etymologically connected to defenestration?
The heady-sublime rush you experience right after after something good happens, particularly in love/dating. Like running into your crush, kissing someone for the first time, hearing someone you love tell you they love you too for the first time.
French for the heartbreaking pain of wanting someone or something you can’t have. La douleur exquise is not the same as unrequited love – the state of one desiring another they can’t have. This phrase is meant to describe the emotional experience and heartbreak of being the person whose feelings and desires aren’t returned.
The sudden knowledge upon meeting someone that the two of you are destined to fall in love.
Unlike the phrase “love at first sight” Koi No Yokan doesn’t mean that the feeling of love is already there when meeting someone, rather this describes the concept of feeling like love is inevitable. It’s looking at someone and feeling those sparks that a deeper romantic connection is possible.
No: possessive particle (Japanese have a word for possession unlike English which uses an apostrophe).
Yokan: Premonition. Note: a slightly differnent alternative translation of yokan is "presentment."
It means meeting someone and knowing early on that the two of you will fall in love.
恋の予感 "koi no yokan"
In English there's no equivalent to Japanese word 恋 "koi."
There's an English phrase "love at first sight." This stage is similar to 恋 "koi." As you know the stage of "Love at first sight" is not actual love (yet). We call this step as 恋 "koi" in Japanese. If their romance continues and reaches to the next step, 恋 "koi" might grow into 愛 "love." Japanese language clearly defines the first step and the second.
予感 "yokan" could be different meaning with an adjective: good or bad. English words like premonition or presentiment are mostly a bad prediction. But Japanese word 予感 "yokan" is neutral.
When two words are combined as 恋の予感 "koi no yokan," we can sense speaker's heart beat and excitement. The speaker is hopeful about being more than a friend with him or her.
This concept has been written about and discussed a lot but essentially this means, “a way of living that focuses on finding beauty within the imperfections of life and accepting peacefully the natural cycle of growth and decay.”
The your-age-minus-seven-times-two rule is a mathematical guide to judge whether the age difference in an intimate relationship is socially acceptable.
Urban Dictionary says that when a woman has a terrible relationship with her father to the point where she engages in sexual activity with a whole bunch of men to compensate, she is said to have daddy issues.
Hilariously, a lot of edgy teens on tumblr apparently used to think hypophrenia meant "A sense or feeling of sorrow or sadness, without any apparent cause or source.". Hypophrenia denotes mental retardation.
Also, the people who were in support of the U.S. becoming separate from Britain were called the patriots. Those who wanted the U.S. to remain British colonies were called loyalists.
When one's throat and sinuses feel like crap, and the back of their throat gets just that way so as to make swallowing hurt but not in the conventional sense, but in a way that I can only describe as a feeling of grossness combined with a dull pain, their voice tends to sound a certain way.
Well, assnose is when your voice sounds that way when you *aren't* sick. Basically like you're trying to put the least possible amount of effort on your nose when you're talking, so it ALL comes out the mouth instead.
Etymology: When the deepest parts of your nose feel like ASS! (except they don't, you just sound that way)
From TreeIncarnation (yes, I know, the guy's a looney wackjob. But this definition is good)
"...This study of number behavior is called 'Numeronomy' in contradistinction to numerology, whereas numerology finds patterns and correlations in numbers through subjective means, numeronomy finds patterns and correlations in the interrelationships between numbers themselves. This difference can be likened to the difference between astrology and astronomy, the former looks at the affects of celestial bodies from a subjective standpoint (from our point of view) while the latter gains knowledge of the interrelationships between the planets through study of the motions of the planets themselves."
frindley, I suppose you'll never see this but what about "present" as a verb? A gift is similar to a present, and things are presented all the time (powerpoints, arms, feature films etc.) but if you pronounce it exactly like the noun, you're not really verbifying that hard because of the existing verb present, but it still carries the same connotations as "to gift" as detailed in your comment.
It's just a nonsense word, but if you want to use it then you'll want to know that the part of speech it is is noun. Seemingly coined by Joe Gatto on Twitter. "Flipski on the fashank".
Defn. 2: (from HuffPo) "Urdu is the national language of Pakistan, but is also an official language in 5 of the Indian states. This particular Urdu word conveys a contemplative ‘as-if’ that nonetheless feels like reality, and describes the suspension of disbelief that can occur, often through good storytelling."
From Wikipedia: Pentaceratops is a genus of herbivorous ceratopsid dinosaur... Pentaceratops fossils were first discovered in 1921...
From ThoughtCo: Despite its impressive name (which means "five-horned face"), Pentaceratops really only had three genuine horns, two big ones over its eyes and a smaller one perched on the end of its snout.
blurfle--to be speaking loudly over music, as at a dance club, only to have the music stop suddenly just as you're saying something like "... testicles laminated!"

Logophile77 commented on the word bibliobibuli
It is American humorist H. L. Mencken’s coinage, and it refers to people who read too much. Is there such a thing as reading too much? Well, Mencken thought so: ‘There are some people who read too much: the bibliobibuli. I know some who are constantly drunk on books, as other men are drunk on whiskey or religion. They wander through this most diverting and stimulating of worlds in a haze, seeing nothing and hearing nothing.’

Logophile77 commented on the word pragma
Ancient Greek
longstanding love; Marriage love.
"Another Greek love was the mature love known as pragma. This was the deep understanding that developed between long-married couples.
Pragma was about making compromises to help the relationship work over time, and showing patience and tolerance.
The psychoanalyst Erich Fromm said that we expend too much energy on "falling in love" and need to learn more how to "stand in love." Pragma is precisely about standing in love—making an effort to give love rather than just receive it. With about a third of first marriages in the U.S. ending through divorce or separation in the first 10 years, the Greeks would surely think we should bring a serious dose of pragma into our relationships."

Logophile77 commented on the word ludus
"This was the Greeks' idea of playful love, which referred to the affection between children or young lovers. We've all had a taste of it in the flirting and teasing in the early stages of a relationship. But we also live out our ludus when we sit around in a bar bantering and laughing with friends, or when we go out dancing.
Dancing with strangers may be the ultimate ludic activity, almost a playful substitute for sex itself. Social norms may frown on this kind of adult frivolity, but a little more ludus might be just what we need to spice up our love lives."

Logophile77 commented on the word koi no yokan
The sudden knowledge upon meeting someone that the two of you are destined to fall in love.
Unlike the phrase “love at first sight” Koi No Yokan doesn’t mean that the feeling of love is already there when meeting someone, rather this describes the concept of feeling like love is inevitable. It’s looking at someone and feeling those sparks that a deeper romantic connection is possible.
https://thoughtcatalog.com/koty-neelis/2014/11/23-untranslatable-foreign-words-that-describe-love-better-than-you-ever-thought/
Literally, "Love's premonition"
Koi: love
No: possessive particle (Japanese have a word for possession unlike English which uses an apostrophe).
Yokan: Premonition. Note: a slightly differnent alternative translation of yokan is "presentment."
It means meeting someone and knowing early on that the two of you will fall in love.
恋の予感 "koi no yokan"
In English there's no equivalent to Japanese word 恋 "koi."
There's an English phrase "love at first sight." This stage is similar to 恋 "koi." As you know the stage of "Love at first sight" is not actual love (yet). We call this step as 恋 "koi" in Japanese. If their romance continues and reaches to the next step, 恋 "koi" might grow into 愛 "love." Japanese language clearly defines the first step and the second.
予感 "yokan" could be different meaning with an adjective: good or bad. English words like premonition or presentiment are mostly a bad prediction. But Japanese word 予感 "yokan" is neutral.
When two words are combined as 恋の予感 "koi no yokan," we can sense speaker's heart beat and excitement. The speaker is hopeful about being more than a friend with him or her.

Logophile77 commented on the word assnose
When one's throat and sinuses feel like crap, and the back of their throat gets just that way so as to make swallowing hurt but not in the conventional sense, but in a way that I can only describe as a feeling of grossness combined with a dull pain, their voice tends to sound a certain way.
Well, assnose is when your voice sounds that way when you *aren't* sick. Basically like you're trying to put the least possible amount of effort on your nose when you're talking, so it ALL comes out the mouth instead.
Etymology: When the deepest parts of your nose feel like ASS! (except they don't, you just sound that way)

Logophile77 commented on the word numeronomy
From TreeIncarnation (yes, I know, the guy's a looney wackjob. But this definition is good)
"...This study of number behavior is called 'Numeronomy' in contradistinction to numerology, whereas numerology finds patterns and correlations in numbers through subjective means, numeronomy finds patterns and correlations in the interrelationships between numbers themselves. This difference can be likened to the difference between astrology and astronomy, the former looks at the affects of celestial bodies from a subjective standpoint (from our point of view) while the latter gains knowledge of the interrelationships between the planets through study of the motions of the planets themselves."

Logophile77 commented on the word verbify
frindley, I suppose you'll never see this but what about "present" as a verb? A gift is similar to a present, and things are presented all the time (powerpoints, arms, feature films etc.) but if you pronounce it exactly like the noun, you're not really verbifying that hard because of the existing verb present, but it still carries the same connotations as "to gift" as detailed in your comment.
