But as I continue to move towards my goals in life and the goals keep shifting, this has me looking backwards, not forwards. If nothing else, I hope these words introduce a bit of logolepsy into your life. And although me using new words to describe these feelings doesn’t particularly ease the description of emotions from one human to another (me to you), perhaps it will on the second pass, should I mention these feelings again. I discovered two new words, which hopefully replace the paragraphs of explanation it would normally require. It’s about my recent difficulty voicing some feelings I have encountered. Amazing how the internet works though, isn’t it? Just throw words out there and sometimes strangers pick them up. I will continue to do that as I can and will use one of the author’s inventions below. I love the bold nature of inventing words to help out the population. I should note, I’m way late to the party this site has been around and covered in the media for years now. That doesn’t make it any less awesome. This is a project to inject unique words into the common lexicon to describe…well, common feelings. Recently I encountered the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows. There are even a few words that I “invented”, usually by combining latin bases I could figure out, smashing together entire words or by changing the case of a word. However, this instilled a fascination with odd words (see also: Logolepsy). After roughly 150 occasions of naming shows like this and realizing the increasing amount of time it takes to come up with each one, I decided to move away from the practice and simplify. One thing that I always loved on The Amp Hour was coming up with alliterative titles for the episodes (my favorite word is still “ ostrobogulous“, used for episode 162).
