7 words from The Emotionary that perfectly describe the weekend
We’ve all had those moments where we can’t exactly put into words a situation we’re experiencing or how we're feeling; everything seems right in our minds, but we have no idea how to roll it off our tongues. Eden Sher, The Middle actress and now author, knows that feeling well. So she decided that whenever she had an emotion for which she had no word for, she would just make a word up. Her new book, The Emotionary, is a dictionary filled with the most bizarre, yet absolutely hilarious words that don’t exist for the feelings that do. Basically, this book will help you put all of your complicated feelings into words, so you can recognize them for what they really are.
And now that it’s Friday, it’s time to let loose and LOL at these words that perfectly describe all of our weekend feels.
Inrelaxability
Inability + relax
n. the anxiety of having free time
It’s Friday night and—for once—you don’t have any plans. You think: "Free time?! I need to find something to do ASAP. What do people who aren't always busy do when they're not?"
Departophobia
Depart + phobia
n. the anxiety of having to say goodbye, especially at a party when one wants to leave
You know that moment when your BFFs leave you house after an amazing sleepover? Yep, that's this feeling...and you'll probably experience it Saturday or Sunday morning.
Fauxbration
Faux + vibration
n. The phenomenon of feeling your phone vibrate, often out of desperate expectation, when in reality no vibration has occurred because no one is trying to contact you and you will in fact probably die alone.
We’re all guilty of this. We communicate with people *so* often via text, Snapchat, Twitter and other things that we've become accustomed to our phones always buzzing...even when they're actually not.
Dines
Debilitating infinite need to eat syndrome
n. the disorder requiring one to compulsively eat food if it is in front of oneself even when not hungry, especially when said food is free
"Food! Where? Let me have it!" –Said almost everyone, ever, when there's free food at a weekend party.
Disagration
Disagreement + frustration
n. the exasperation from never being on the same page as another person
This word is *literally* the definition of weekend group chats. No one can decide what time to meet for dinner, where to eat, whose house to sleepover afterward, what to watch on Netflix...the list goes on. Why can't planning weekend activities just be easy!?
Guiltroverson
Guilt + introversion
n. the guilt from wanting to see no one and do nothing
Going out for dinner with the girls or stay home and binge watch your new fave Netflix show? Probably the hardest decisions we'll make this tonight.
Solitent
Solitary + content
adj. in a state of peaceful solitude
The weekend means that your hectic week of school is over and you can finally relax…well, at least try to.
