Weird and Wonderful Words | Roz Chast, Erin McKean
post image

My partner sent me this Instagram reel this morning. This word is so me and it's fun to say. According to urban dictionary it can also mean "to cuddle with, rub faces and noses with, and generally make a fuss over your pets" - which I also love to do. So snerdle is about to make a come back in my vocabulary ???

#weirdwordwednesday Saw this in an Etsy store.

Schnapsidee: German - An idea so ridiculous you must have been drunk when you thought it up.

Although I have to ask @julesG if this is an actual German word. Curious minds want to know.

AkashaVampie haha i love that word!!! I dont drink anymore but yeah awesome word. 10mo
slategreyskies I‘m curious as to whether or not it‘s a real word as well. 10mo
swynn It's in LEO (the online German-English language tool) so... https://dict.leo.org/german-english/schnapsidee 10mo

wanderinglynn @swynn good enough for me! 👍🏻😀 @slategreyskies 10mo
CBee Hubby is German so I‘m going to see if he‘s heard of this word! Thanks for posting 💚 10mo
julesG It is a real German word and the explanation is correct too. I'm offering another wonderful German word: when the result in a game of dice is made up of repeat digits it's called a "Schnapszahl" and the person who has to shout a round of Schnaps. @CBee @swynn @slategreyskies @AkashaVampie 10mo
CBee @julesG very cool! 10mo
swynn @julesG Love it! 10mo
wanderinglynn Thanks @julesG 😀 One of these days, I‘m going to start learning German! I love all the fun words. 10mo

I‘m packing up books for a move and came across this handy book full of #weirdwords which I didn‘t know I had! Not even sure where I got it but it seems like the perfect reference for language explorers. And who of us hasn‘t feeked or dwaled through bookshops- that must have been how I discovered this book originally!
@CBee

CBee Sometimes I haingle and feek quite a bit 😂😂 I probably dwale when I‘m tired 😂🤪 (edited) 13mo

This afternoons short read. Seriously though, I‘m loving these Audible Originals #Words+Music 🎧📖audiobooks.

Now if I could only figure out how (probably something settings) to track my progress (properly) on SG🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Andrew65 Looks interesting. I‘ve used storygraph since January but not sure I am using it fully. 13mo
DieAReader @Andrew65 Same but I started last summer🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ 13mo

This word came up in one of my books this last week. I had never seen it before and wondered if it might be Vulcan as I‘ve been watching The Big Bang Theory…I was only off by a little bit as it is Martian 😂

@CBee

CBee Oh wow! I‘ve seen it before and never knew what it meant 😊 1y
vivastory I haven't read Heinlein's book but I had heard that it introduced a new neologism. According to this article, Heinlein also invented waterbeds (?!)
