One of the things I relish about reading and writing this lovely language of ours, is how happily we pinch words from far flung foreign tongues.
Do you actually use rucksack instead of backpack? Is that another German word that slipped into your language?
Ooh, didn't know that was a German word. Excellent work that man! ps. are there any german words that are used for angstfreuden type emotions?
I was already thinking about this. But nothing that sprung to my mind immediately. There might be something in the German translation of 'The Meaning of Liff'. 😅 If I cannot come up with a better one - I'll adopt Angstfreuden into my own vocabulary.
That’s kind of the way I feel about the dentist!
Excellent example. Perfect bit of angstfreuden right there!
BTW - sorry about the hideous typo towards the end there (as against they're. Yikes.) I blame the bastard child of technology, auto correct.
