Add this book,
In Other Words, to the books that should be ebooks thread. Here's an
NPR (that's National Public Radio, for non-US citizens) article on the book and author.
I thought with our international membership, we could have a thread on untranslatable words, words that have no equivalent in English (since that's our primary language here).
I loved
esprit de I'escalier, from the book.
Or, if you must be Unutterably Silly, you can give examples of words that don't exist but should. In another thread I referred to the word "cryptomammary", which you won't find defined because the author obviously made it up, but it referred to a woman's suit which befuddled his attempts at discerning the size and shape of her breasts. It's a word I will definitely add to my own vocabulary.
Release the hounds!
