Obfuscate is a truly fantastic word fzchk... I love obfuscate!!


ocelotl  said about 7 months ago:

Don't forget you can also extend to ''obfuscatory'', as in ''Don't be so damn obfuscatory!''. Note however that this sentence could be seen as self-contradictory.

Here's some fantastic words that have no English equivalent:

Zhaghzhagh (Persian)
The chattering of teeth from the cold or from rage

Yuputka (Ulwa)
A word made for walking in the woods at night, it’s the phantom sensation of something crawling on your skin

Slampadato (Italian)
Addicted to the UV glow of tanning salons? This word describes you

Luftmensch (Yiddish)
There are several Yiddish words to describe social misfits. This one is for an impractical dreamer with no business sense. Literally, air person

*Iktsuarpok *(Inuit)
You know that feeling of anticipation when you’re waiting for someone to show up at your house and you keep going outside to see if they’re there yet? This is the word for it

More cool words that don't have any English equivalent:

Cotisuelto (Caribbean Spanish)
A word that would aptly describe the prevailing fashion trend among American men under 40, it means one who wears the shirt tail outside of his trousers.

Pana Po’o (Hawaiian)
“Hmm, now where did I leave those keys?” he said, pana po’oing. It means to scratch your head in order to help you remember something you’ve forgotten.

Gumusservi (Turkish)
Meteorologists can be poets in Turkey with words like this at their disposal. It means moonlight shining on water.

Vybafnout (Czech)
A word tailor-made for annoying older brothers—it means to jump out and say boo!

Mencolek (Indonesian)
You know that old trick where you tap someone lightly on the opposite shoulder from behind to fool them? The Indonesians have a word for it.

Faamiti (Samoan)
To make a squeaking sound by sucking air past the lips in order to gain the attention of a dog or child.

Bakku-shan (Japanese)
The experience of seeing a woman who appears pretty from behind but not from the front.

Kummerspeck (German)
Excess weight gained from emotional overeating. Literally, grief bacon!
