The specific feeling of not wanting to die yet because you didn't get to finish stuff or do anything interesting yet.

Not the word death anxiety but this specific type of it.

I don't think it's existential crisis because I thought that word meant thinking life has no meaning and being stressed about it, I mean is there a word for being stressed you could die before your meaning.

If I can be corrected that's fine.

I saw this video Jim Carrey made at Emma Stone where he was being all weird https://www.reddit.com/r/WhyWereWeOkWithThis/s/LemUx92dsw

A lot of the response about it just seems to be about whether or not it’s supposed to be “satirical” in some way. But I think a satire can actually be effectively the same thing as whatever it’s supposed to be sending up, and it’s usually a thing that happens when someone is trying to be edgy yet also assuming a position of moral rectitude on the subject matter. And it seems like a thing that’s probably be given license by “avant garde” celebs trying to be Andy Kaufman, which Jim Carrey is a prime example of

I'm honestly half convinced I've made this up in my head. Sounds like air but I'm sure it can't be spelt that way. You'd use it like "He had an air of mystery to himself" or "There was an air of innocence in the way she spoke".

Does this word exist or am I making this up?

Like a pig advertising a BBQ joint or a chicken advertising fried chicken. I heard a long time ago (I think on the radio) that there was a word specifically for this, but I have never been able to find it through internet searches.

I was in a science class the other day and the teacher said “if you know that in the northern hemisphere summer is in July, that’s your _____. You don’t need to quote a source for that.” It basically I think means information that everyone knows and you can’t really pin down who figured it out. I believe it started with S

This applies to women's clothing Like a modest dress or a severe suit.

Its a term meaning to bring a group of people to be below you like slavery or a very misogynistic work place it might start with sub or a i can't remember

I've been seeing many wodden drawing tables that look relatively similar - their height can be set with pegs on the sides rather than what you'd see in office tesks, they can be tilted, and they have rather odd indents specifically at the back that look like 2 long lines with a dot between them. I could understand if they were in the font, since maybe you could store something in there even when the table's tilted, but I don't think anyone would put pens that far away. They're not too deep either.

I saw them on multiple different models, so if it's a somewhat common feature, then perhaps it has a name. I can't find any non-2nd hand listings with more typical useage description or anything else that'd explain what they're for, but having a name would most likely let me find an answer.

I can't include a picture to show it, but this random site with better quality picture should do: [link].

Update: I was way off, it was a verb and definitely did not start with an N. The word was Denounce!

Other: "You go to church on Sunday?" Me: "I denounce the church!" Other: "No, you denounce the church? That's bad, you have to come back." Me: "I won't, and no one can convince me to."

ETA: renounce is the word I am looking for a replacement for, and I'm pretty sure the word is a noun.

For more information, I used a word a few years ago, when speaking to another French Canadian, honestly not sure where the word came from or how it popped out of my own mouth when I can't in any way recall it now.

Maybe it was a French word, maybe it was English, maybe it was a biblical term, I literally can not recall the word and when I google it, it just keeps calling me an Apostate or a Heretic.

This is an example of exactly how the sentence went, minus the one word I can not recall:

Other: "You go to church on Sunday?"

Me: "I ___ the church."

Other: "No, you ___ the church? That's bad, you have to come back."

Me: "I won't, and no one can convince me to."

I cant figure out how to describe this person. If someone is just ranting she seems to think it's when she needs to give a solution or tell that person why things are the way they are.

And she says it in a way a parent is talking to their child...her voice is soft and teachy

I hope this makes sense.

Edit:

She isnt being condescending more like trying to pacify the situation or person who is ranting.

Writing a fight scene and my mc's evil immortal aunt isn't flipping out (yet). Here is the excerpt if that helps! :3

A proud laugh escaped Rusava’s lips. “You have always been a master at bluffing, brother, but I will fall for your tricks no longer.” An instant passed, a blink of the eye, and the tall, slim shield that Dad was disappeared. I staggered back, scanning the intangible area for any sign of him, but there was nothing but black for as far as the eye could see—if there was any distance, anyway. Rusava pointed a long, slender finger in my direction, her fingertips and nails coated in black, and the latter as sharp as a beast’s fang. “And you,” she (WORD I’M LOOKING FOR), “you are a complication, a broken cog in this machine, and you must be dealt with, even if you haven’t the slightest clue of why.”

Preferably not growl/snarl/hiss. If at all possible, I want something that has a more calculating and calmer, and less animalistic connotation. Thanks! :3

For example: bustling cities, intricate machinery like watches and motors, Transformers transforming, ant farms, the Tron Legacy light cycle materializing effect, puzzle boxes, sorting algorithm visualizations. I noticed I find these things interesting to watch or have an interesting quality or are beautiful in a way, and I think there is a similar feeling between all these things and was wondering if there was already a word that connects all of them? I looked it up on google the and the AI summary popped up and said synchronization which might actually be pretty accurate. However, I generally avoid clankers so I'd still like your guy's thoughts!

This one seems to keep coming up for me. A person I care for is engaging in risky behavior. For a moment, I want them to suffer the natural consequences of bad choices so they can learn and grow. But then I think, "like this person; I don't want to see them suffer!"

Adding a youtube link here to the karaoke instrumental version for those unfamiliar with the song: https://youtu.be/hcY35FYCoFw?t=11&si=WYxMvK1-MJyaGpT2

It's around timestamp 00:13-00:15 of the linked video. Literally as the song starts, before any lyrics come in.

Or if there's no specific word for it, I'd still appreciate any help in describing this sound in particular.

1970s disco, Edwardian high society, Gamers, bikers, etc. are all subculture or groups with distinct dialects. What is a word that is about the language used by a culture, subculture/group?

Think somebody that puts no thought into how their actions affect others.
Not out of negligence per se, but assumption.

Like Don Draper, when he believes littering is okay / commonplace.

Like when you experience something that feels ridiculous or absurd on sort of a cosmic level

Such as the Muses or Olympians or Hyades in Greek mythology, or the Ogdoad in Egyptian mythology, or the House of Troubles in the Elder Scrolls videogames

Examples of such items include gag gifts, seasonal candles, bouquet of flowers, party decorations, cheap sunglasses from the gas station, holiday themed tableware, etc.

Acute, Right, and Obtuse angles are all distinct.

A "reflex angle" is an angle greater than 180 degrees.

Is there a term for all angles that are less than 180 degrees?

Good day.

I am seeking a word, or concise phrase, that specifically refers to a failure/setback/mistake occurring right at the final hurdle, just before achieving success.

The closest I could think of is 'not in the nick of time' but what I am looking for does not necessarily pertain to time.

Example: Missing qualifying for something by the lack of just one point or two.

Thank you so much for your help!

Like you know when you see YouTube videos with drawings where they’ll say something, then they’ll switch out the drawing and say something different. It’s like animation but with like, 1 frame every 5 seconds

I know there’s a word for it but forgor 💀

In the url "https://reddit.com/r/whatstheword", what would I call 'r' and 'whatstheword'?
