Dedicated to those things for which there should be a word. A gender-neutral word for aunt/uncle. A word for people who threaten to leave if the election doesn't go their way. That kind of thing.

Mostly when they are indignant or angry about something.
Well here you goooooooooo : Pibling
Yeah, that’s it. That’s the word.
Sounds like Piglin tbh.
It is not "hot" or "spicy," but it is a unique sort of sharp tang that irritated the nose and eyes.
I'm curious what people think of this construct / concept:
https://posilicious.com/2020/08/27/gender-neutral-english-new-humanist-model/
To start, inclusive or is when it can be A or B or both, exlusive is A or B but NOT both.
In english, there is no seperate words for these two concepts (other than using inclusive and exclusive). Most people use the word or to mean exclusive or, we sometimes use "and/or" to denote inclusive or even though people will tell you that its bad english (which it is but people also imediately know what you mean so its still useful).
There should be a word for exlusive or, preferably one sylable like or. The shorthand for exlusive or is already xor, but there isn't a particularly elegant way of pronouncing it, especially not one thats been agreed on. I usually hear 'ex-or' but I would be willing to hear an argument for why you'd pronounce it 'zor'. Any other ideas?
Yeah you could say third or thirds, but I feel it’s so common that it could use its own name.
Ya know if you dip a rock in water or are filling up a pot and the parts affected by water are darker, there should be a word that.
Subscraper?
Mantle Mansion?
Hi
For a better description of Onism, please see: https://www.seeker.com/onism-the-awareness-of-how-little-of-the-world-youll-experience-1792530794.html
i always felt that in this lifetime I would experience very little of this world. Maybe there was a way I can visually see a lot more places than I do now. If someone via tech or any other thing can provide such an experience, what would it be called? Thanks for your help.
When you use the word "someone" twice in a sentence but you imply that it's a different person each time, it can be confusing. For example:
"Someone took someone's car."
The solution:
"Someone took someother's car."
It can also be use to emphasize that "someone" is different from any other previously mentioned person.
"Bob will attack someother tonight."
This excludes the possibility that Bob would attack himself.
(Yes, I know that "someone else" is a thing, but look at how "some one" and "an other" got condensed into "someone" and "another")
"Pickuppable" is very awkward, but there's no other word to describe whenever an object in a video game cannot be picked up by the player.
Ever go to a new store or restaurant that is set up the same way as the one you always go to? It might give a weird familiar yet different feeling knowing that it's not the place you usually go to.
For example, you're in a video game, and there's a locked door. The only other thing in the room is a key. This word is to describe the tone in which you say "Guess I'll use the key to open the door."
I want to say that it's sarcasm or irony, but I don't feel like those words quite meet the bar.
like racism, sexism, etc. make humanism
"I'm smart too but not at anything math related like physics, computer science, chemistry, etc."
"So what you're trying to say is that you're dumb?"
I actually came up with a decent word, but that's just me.
Requel re·quel /ˈrēkwəl/
A direct sequel that replaces an already existing direct sequel.
Halloween (2018) is a requel to Halloween (1978), taking the place of Halloween II (1981)
Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later is a requel to Halloween II (1981), taking the place of Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers
adj. (Fucking) smug, snide and sarky (sarcastic).

A gaggle of geese, a knot of frogs, a murder of crows, a murmuration of starlings (the best one, objectively). I wish there were also different words for groups of fruit!!! a _____ of strawberries, a _____ of peaches. Bunches is the only word that comes to mind, but I wish there were specific ones, like for animals.
