Inga: His veins, his feet, his hands, his organs vould all have to be increased in size.

perineum

noun, plural perinea
[per-uh-nee-uh]
Anatomy.
1. the area in front of the anus extending to the fourchette of the vulva in the female and to the scrotum in the male.
2. the diamond-shaped area corresponding to the outlet of the pelvis, containing the anus and vulva or the roots of the penis.

There are a number of American slang terms commonly used for this area of the human body, such as "taint" and "choad".

I asked myself if there are other synonyms as '"taint" or "choad" because they seem to have a negative connotation? In German besides the anatomical term "Perineum" it is simply called "Damm" which is pretty neutral as other meanings are just "sea wall, dike, dam, anicut".
What may be the Brit's synonyms?

Pandiculation.
This is what happens when you wake up in the morning and stretch. As you stretch, your muscles might go rigid for a short time, which can sometimes be uncomfortable. It also describes that wonderful, or terrible, combination of being extremely sleepy, stretching and yawning at the same time. Now, when this happens to you, you’ll know what to call it!

Mondegreen

A mondegreen is a mishearing or misinterpretation of a phrase in a way that gives it a new meaning.
Mondegreens are most often created by a person listening to a poem or a song; the listener, being unable to clearly hear a lyric, substitutes words that sound similar and make some kind of sense.

American writer Sylvia Wright coined the term in 1954, writing that as a girl, when her mother read to her from Percy's Reliques, she had misheard the lyric  "layd him on the green"    in the fourth line of the Scottish ballad "The Bonny Earl of Murray" as
"Lady Mondegreen"    And hence the word was created and accepted.

"The Bonnie Earl o' Moray"   (a popular Scottish ballad)

Ye Highlands and ye Lowlands,
Oh, where hae ye been?
They hae slain the Earl o' Moray,
And Lady Mondegreen

The correct fourth line is, "And laid him on the green".


Other Mondegreens -

Francis Scott Key's "Star-Spangled Banner"    begins with the line   "O say can you see, by the dawn's early light."

This has been accidentally been misinterpreted as "Jose, can you see,"   
The second half of the line has been misheard as well, as  "by the donzerly light,"
This has led to many people believing that "donzerly" is an actual word.


I bet you have done some yourself.

Check these out.  I dare you not to smile

Apparently, over 90% of what people say is done using only around 7000 words. When you think that there are over 600,000 words listed in the Oxford English Dictionary it seems a waste that there are so many unused words that will most likely fade from use over time.
So, in full knowledge that I'm prolly going to bore everyone out of their minds, I'm going to try to post a word a day here, alphabetically, beginning, as you'd expect, with the letter "A".
My chosen word today is  Alabandical.  Meaning : uncivilised or barbaric; stupefied from alcohol.

This is a state of mind occurring from a romantic interest in another person. Not necessarily purely sexual, this condition usually triggers obsessive thoughts and feelings and leads to the desire to have a relationship with the object of the love/desire/fantasies and to have those feelings returned.

Generation Names

Regardless of your age, you will always belong to the generation you were born into.

The breakdown by age looks like this:

Baby Boomers: Baby boomers were born between 1946 and 1964. They're currently between 56-74 years old
Born 1946-1964. Post World War II, people were enjoying new-found prosperity, which resulted in a "baby boom." The children born as a result were dubbed the Baby Boomers.

Gen X: Gen X was born between 1965 and 1980 and are currently between 40-55 years old.
Other Nicknames: "Latchkey" generation, MTV generation

Gen Y: Gen Y, or Millennials, were born between 1980 and 1994. They are currently between 24-39 years old

Gen Y.1 = 25-29 years old

Gen Y.2 = 29-39

Other Nicknames: Gen Y, Gen Me, Gen We, Echo Boomers.  Millennials have a home and are building a family. You can imagine how having a child might change your interests and priorities, so for marketing purposes, it's useful to split this generation into Gen Y.1 and Gen Y.2.

Gen Z: Gen Z is the newest generation to be named and were born between 1996 and 2015. They are currently between 5-24 years old
The name Generation Z is a placeholder for the youngest people on the planet. It is likely to morph as they leave childhood and mature into their adolescent and adult identities.
Other Nicknames: iGeneration, Post-millennials, Homeland Generation

Gaslighting

A complex form of manipulation.  Someone who employs gaslighting tries to convince the other that their own perception of reality is wrong. The purpose of this is to convince the person being gaslit that they can’t trust their own instincts or thoughts.

A gaslighter may try to convince you that your memories are incorrect, that you overreact to situations, or that something is “all in your head.” They may then try to convince you that their version of events is the truth. This tactic can be used in both personal and professional relationships to gain control and power.

Signs of Gaslighting

An abuser may use several different gaslighting techniques in order to maintain power over their target. They are all intended to make the person being gaslit second-guess their own reality. These are some of the most common signs of gaslighting.

Withholding

A person who is gaslighting may use the withholding technique. This means that they may refuse to listen to what the person being gaslit has to say. The gaslighter might also accuse you of being the one trying to confuse things. They will pretend that they don’t understand your perspective.

Lying

Using this gaslighting tactic, the gaslighter will tell you outright lies. They will do this even when you know for a fact that they’re lying. This is meant to make you question yourself and your version of events.

Countering

This technique questions your memory or version of events. The gaslighter will claim that things didn’t happen the way that the target (correctly) claims, and will even add on details that never happened.

Denial

The gaslighter may deny that they ever said or did something you know they did. They will pretend that the person being gaslit is making it up. Again, this gaslighting technique is intended to discredit your memory and make you question yourself.

Diverting

Another sign of gaslighting is diverting. This is when the gaslighter changes the subject to get the target’s attention away from a topic. They may even twist things and accuse the target of getting a certain idea from someone else, like a friend or family member.

Trivializing

Using this technique, the gaslighter aims to make the target’s thoughts and feelings seem unimportant. The gaslighter will accuse the target of overreacting to situations or of being too sensitive. The gaslighter may even laugh at true statements made by the person they are gaslighting.

JACKANORY   Story telling.

(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d0/Jackanory-1960s.jpg)

I'll tell a story
It was the simplest of ideas: someone read a story into the microphone, or to camera. All you had to do was listen.
The word Jackanory comes from an old nursery rhyme: I'll tell a story.

An old English nursery rhyme:

I'll tell you a story
About Jack a Nory,
And now my story's begun;
I'll tell you another
Of Jack and his brother,
And now my story is done


Jackanory is a BBC children's television series which was originally broadcast between 1965 and 1996. It was designed to stimulate an interest in reading

The Duke of Edinburgh defined this as 'the science of opening your mouth and putting your foot in it'

Spaghetto, confetto, and graffito are the singular forms of spaghetti, confetti, and graffiti.

Although it might sound a little strange, the word for an individual piece of spaghetti is spaghetto. The same goes for a single piece of confetti, which is confetto, as well as a single piece of graffiti, which is graffito.

"Arachibutyrophobia" is the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth.

(https://i0.wp.com/bestlifeonline.com/wp-content/uploads/media/images/ext/293861645/peanut-butter-crackers.jpg?resize=500%2C368&ssl=1)

It's pretty common to be afraid of heights and scared of spiders, but if you have arachibutyrophobia, you're among the smaller group of people that suffer from a fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of their mouths. This phobia is often connected to a fear of choking or a fear of sticky textures, but it can also be its own isolated fear.

alt - is someone who completely reinvents themselves from head to toe. This could be someone you'd never otherwise notice on the street, yet through inventive styling, self-applied makeup, self-styled clothing and hair, they create a whole new persona for themselves.


Passive-aggressive behaviour is a pattern of indirectly expressing negative feelings instead of openly addressing them. There's a disconnect between what a passive-aggressive person says and what he or she does.
Examples of passive-aggressive behaviour might include avoiding direct or clear communication, evading problems, fear of intimacy or competition, making excuses, blaming others, obstructionism, playing the victim, feigning compliance with requests, sarcasm, backhanded compliments, hiding behind an alt, and hiding anger.

Astronaut is a compound word derived from the two Ancient Greek words “Astro” meaning “star” and “naut” meaning “sailor”. So astronaut literally means “star sailor”.
