Cool! And funny will use it in future!
Please do! With my blessings!
Love the new word! So apt. It should go into the dictionary! When Olivia is older read her the book Frindle about a 10 year old who coined a word❤️
Frindle. Will have to find that one. Did you know google was coined by a dad and his son to represent some huge number a one followed by zillions of zeroes.
LOL! Last week I woke up and, after saying “Modee Ani,” thought to myself, wow–it’s Friday. How can it be Friday already. It was just Friday a couple of days ago. Then I realized it wasn’t Friday and I thought, hmmm, it’s Tuesday. But how can it be Tuesday? I’m supposed to get my covid shot on Tuesday and I know that’s not today. Finally I realized it was Sunday. Talk about disorientation! Love your newly coined term :~}
This had me ROARING, Anita. It is indeed the weirdest feeling.
Glad you like the word.
Genius! Should be the word of the year. Even my grandchildren understand the utility of this newly minted word.
Thank you, Debra
You are sooo welcome. Not every day we need a new word.
Most days we are searching for old ones!!
I have been using this word since 2002, when I attempted to explain to my (now) wife why, though an important event was next Friday, and today was Wednesday, I was somehow unable to realize that it was coming up as soon as the day after tomorrow.
Love it! I tip my hat to you.
You have no idea how many times I stop and think “what day is this?” When you’re in semi-lockdown and don’t get out, every day is pretty much the same. It’s frustrating.
It is the oddest and most frustrating thing. I agree, Manny.
Some days I have to walk myself through clues to figure it out.
