  1. good noon, tweeps. I just got an article titled "Words That Don’t Exist in the English Language" #NOTexist.
  2. L’esprit de escalier (Fr): The feeling you get after leaving a conversation,when you think of all the things you should have said. #NOTexist. L’esprit de escalier itself means the spirit of the staircase.
  3. Waldeinsamkeit: (German) The feeling of being alone in the woods. #NOTexist.
  4. Meraki: (Greek) Doing something with soul, creativity, or love #NOTexist.
  5. Forelsket: (Norwegian) The euphoria you experience when you are first falling in love. #NOTexist.
  6. Gheegle: (Filipino) The urge to pinch or squeeze something that is unbearably cute. #NOTexist.
  7. Pochemuchka: (Russian) A person who asks a lot of questions. #NOTexist. (my comment: Pochemuchka is annoying person, eh? :D ).
  8. Pena ajena: (Mexican Spanish) The embarrassment you feel watching someone else’s humiliation. #NOTexist.

  10. Ilunga: (Tshiluba, Congo) A person who ready to forgive any abuse for the 1st time, tolerate it a 2nd time,but never a 3rd time. #NOTexist.
  11. In Javanese we have "beras" which means rice but not cooked yet. #NOTexist.
  12. In dictionary "beras" & "nasi" equals to rice. but, we know it's not correct, right?
