7 DAYS WITHOUT FAKEBOOK: POST 6

The limits of the English language to adequately convey the inner workings of my mind.

In the previous post I talked about concepts which exist in other languages but are absent or untranslatable in English. 

That exercise got me thinking about my day to day life and concepts and feelings (are feelings concepts?) which I don't think there is any word for in any language.  

Though since I am not Babel I can probably only comment on English and the percentage of it that I know.

However, I thought I'd have a stab at making up these new words:

• Soacatta:  When you hear the opening bars of a song for the first time and feel an instant connection to them.
  (Derived from the musical theory term:  Toccata and the verb 'to soak' - to soak in a musical composition).
  
  
• Quztra:  That immediate thud in your gut when you've irrevocably lost something of great  importance.  
  (Derived from nothing in particular, I just tried to come up with something sounding like a cuss).
  
  
• Deja Hoodoo Alignment:  When a thought you had is inline with the next song to play on the radio or your iPOD shuffle.  
  
  
• Climadorphins:  When the outside temperature on your bare skin is just so that it's like lying in the breaking waves on a tropical island.  
  (Derived from the word climate and endorphins).
  
  
• McCandleitism:  The feeling of claustrophobia when you experience yourself walking down a path well trodden.
  (Derived from the subject of Krakauer's docu-novel 'Into the Wild' - Christopher McCandless.)
