I believe it was made after the holocaust. It’s like the United Nations but they have a specific name. I know what it is I can just never remember what they’re called.

Like if you test something once and it goes wrong and so you just assume it doesn't work. Or vice versa, you try something new and it works so you assume it always works.

Is it just a parking bay, or is there a specific word for it? I mean the parking place that's located inside ferry boats/ships, not the car parks near ports on land.

EX: les mcburney (who is a firefighter) doug bowser (president of nintendo of america)

i saw a yt short about this in which they talked abt the philosophy where your name determines your fate (hence the two examples i listed above)

the video called this philosophy "nominative determinism," and when they were listing examples it reminded me of a word that depicts exactly this phenomenon--somethings name is highly fitting for its use

this feeling of having the word linger at the edge of your brain is really so tantalizing lol

Ive noticed that I have done this with my wife and have seen it in a lot of political discussions. Somebody will ask a question, and the other person will assume their argument/line of reasoning, and then try to shut that down instead of answering the original question.

ITAW/ITAP for this?

Something you could use with a kid, so not a camera whore.

Edit: Not in a bad way, just something cute you could call a kid who loves the camera.

I once heard from a youtuber that was solving riddles (Cellbit) that there's a name to the popular titles of songs, that name that goes between parenthesis, but I don't remember it. What is it called?

Examples: 2econd 2ight 2eer (that was fun, goodbye.) - Will Wood

Na na na (na na na na na na na na) - My Chemical Romance

If I translate my language straight to the phrase I am looking for it would be: what number are you between you and your siblings? And that doesn't sound right

Not talking about hoarfrost, but there’s a specific word for ice that forms on things like trees/shrubs as well as road signs, fence posts, and other things that stick up from the ground. I believe it’s when fog or very small rain/water drops get frozen to the surface, but the wind is also pushing everything the same direction, so you end up with sort of sideways icicles all pointing one direction. Thanks!

Often times you’ll hear people default to the word “ironic” when something has a surprising aspect, i.e. “there’s so much math that goes on even behind just a simple calculator app, which is ironic.”

I don’t believe ironic is a word with such particularly loose connotations however? Is there a better word aside from “coincidental”, “funnily enough”, etc? Or would ironic work?

Like they insinuate it. Usually they do this cuz it’s a topic that’s a little too heavy for the media it’s in.

a specific word referring to a title someone gets due to their infamy/reputation, like Bloody Mary or the dread pirate roberts

Is there a word for when a concept or issue, like climate change, becomes less significant or urgent in people's minds because it is discussed so frequently? Despite its importance, the constant exposure seems to make it feel less critical to the public.

In Chinese there’s a word to describe someone who is very honest, it’s in their nature to follow all the rules, and they are so honest to the point where it can be a disadvantage. They don’t think of ways to advantage themselves

For example when no one is looking and there’s a jar of free candy, alot of us would naturally take 2 or more pieces, but this person would only take one. Or maybe the cashier gives them an extra bill by accident and they let them know.

This work is not really describing their actions but more so their nature and way of thinking. Like the opposite of an opportunist.

Another example is maybe there’s a long lineup but there’s 3 other lineups if you walk a bit further and check. They wouldn’t think to seek out another way to get in faster.

Another example is maybe they’re someone that doesn’t mind working an hour of overtime for free because they want to get more of their work done. Or they’re late a few minutes and no one notices but they still tell the boss and make up that extra time. Etc

Idk if humble or honest fully describes this because this is more in their ways of behavior and thinking. Maybe they can be a bit absent minded sometimes too. Just going through life without the classic human nature thinking of wanting to be ahead of others and benefit themselves. And there’s that aspect in there as well where it’s like “they’re too good for they’re own good”

Respecting them for their morals or behaviors or because of your common beliefs but somehow you hate them for some reason

hellfire, super hot fire, burning heat, hellflame, heat of the sun, whatever, etc. i've found synonyms like inferno and gehenna, but it doesn't really work for me.

So, this is a phenomenon that we see regularly in tv shows and movies and generally indicates that the character is possessed or has some repressed superpower. As far as i can tell i have not been possessed nor do i have superpowers. I do however have multiple examples of having no memory of doing something that i very clearly did.

Most remarkable for me is an instance when i was rock climbing and mid-climb jumped several feet of open air from one rock face to another. I remember planning the jump beforehand hyping myself up to do it then .... boom i'm on the other rock face. This is the most jarring example and i remember being disoriented immediately after from my apparent teleportation.

A reoccurring example was making close saves or catches playing baseball or other sports that while notable feats of athleticism to those watching, i have no memory of the actual act or how i did them. These memory lapse events generally happened during adrenaline fueled moments like sports, in a fight or when responding to an emergency, but also happened in other moments of focus.

Most all of this happened when i was a teenager. The one time it's happened as an adult was when my kid screamed for help cause he was falling off the tall playset at a playground. I heard him, then i was there, with only a vague whisper of a memory of having crossed the space in between.

I get this is all sounds very r/iamverybadass. I assure you i am not, I am old and very unexciting. I'm just trying to figure out if there's an actual phrase or word for what I experienced.

Edit: Since it's coming up so much. I am not talking about zoning out, auto pilot or any variation of that. It's not like I just missed what someone said. What I'm describing is moments of time that I have no memory of that happened specifically during physical acts that while adrenaline fueled weren't particularly stressful and not at all traumatic.

In my native tongue, there is the expression "to sit on the neck of your parents". Is there something as colloquial in English?

Like example, someone puts their phone down and does something and straight away remembers to do something on their phone, but they forgot where they put it
Someone places an object in their drawer, does something, remembers about the object but not where they put it

It’s like, a facial expression where both lips are tucked into the mouth, where you’d make a “mmmm” sound

You might make this face if you’ve just put on chapstick and are spreading them across your lips. Not quite the “white person smile” meme face since the lips aren’t tucked into the mouth.

Hi i’m asking because i would like to know how to explain this, the best i can find on google is Scopophobia. It’s not the fear of being looked at it’s the fear that there is something out for me. Something inhuman always watching my every move or lurking to hurt me. I do have anxiety so this may just be a symptom i’m just looking for a word that describes the fear of being watched by something imhuman or dark

For example, someone and I had to escape from the same abuser and we became friends because of it. Is there a word for that? I used to say "trauma bonding" but I learned that's incorrect.

Hi everyone. Years ago, I stumbled across a word that I found quite interesting, but I have no recollection of what it was, and have had zero luck trying to find it no matter where I look. I'm starting to think I may have dreamt it or it's some kind of false memory.
Here is the meaning of the word, as it is the only informtion I have.

'To be able to put ones self into the shoes of another from an historical perspective.'

For example, we may blame 19th century doctors for using mercury in their medications, but thats because we don't appreciate the level of education they had at the time, or the experimental data they had thay led them to the conclusion that it was a useful product. - somehow there's a word that sums something like that up(?)..

Please don't take pokes at my example, it's designed for demonstration purposes only..
Am I tripping balls over here?

Cheers

You know how when those spring door stoppers go "boioing" after flicking it? Another example could be a diving board after you jump, what is that motion called?
