You, my darling cousin, are a NATURAL! These are nothing short of brilliant. You should do your own dictionary!

Rubatosis: A great deal of identification with this word of late. I have "significant" or "severe" (depending on which doctor is speaking) aortic stenosis, which means a mandatory valve replacement this year. So, yeah, I've been attending a lot to the ol' thumper.

Kenopsia: Just this afternoon at my favorite Thursday place: 90+ minutes while I was the only customer there.

Etterath: Shpadoinkle, where to start? The emptiness not only after an arduous process, but when that process involved removing 2 feet of my gut? Completing my Ph.D. defense? (And then presenting a paper a week later in Ireland, where I ultimately get invited to publish my diss as a book? *NOBODY* does that.)

Darling friend, they need to create a dictionary JUST FOR YOU. I think it would be wonderful. All kinds of delicious words and descriptors.
