Words that should be in the dictionary

[Sharky]

One word which is often used, but surprisingly is not in a dictionary is "gullible".

 

[Andy in Germany]

Not quite on subject but the word "Subtle" has no direct translation in German.

When I discovered this, I understood Germany much better.

 

[Milkfloat]

Psytoocoldwetnwindytorideous - a condition that leads to boredom and depression.

I don't think the word or condition actually exists in reality, it is just something in the imagination of the weak willed (of which I am often a member of).

I have a definition in need of a word:
In the context of sorting out the washing, the uncomfortable feeling when you are trying to work out if an item of underwear belongs to your wife or your daughter ...

That is absolutely, definitely a thing that deserves a name!
Some suggestions...

• Underwariness
• Undease
• Skegness

In a similar sense, interesting that we have to borrow 'nuance' from the French.

Surely that is a place that shouldn't exist therefore not requiring a word

My Ads keep trying to persuade me to take a 'dream Break in Stuttgart" with a photograph of Esslingen. This is the local equivalent of saying "Visit Bristol" with a photo of Bath...
