mental_floss on tumblr: Wonderful Words With No English Equivalent
Sometimes we must turn to other languages to find le mot juste. Here are a whole bunch of foreign words with no direct English equivalent.
1. Kummerspeck (German)
Excess weight gained from emotional overeating. Literally, grief bacon.2. Shemomedjamo (Georgian)
You know when you’re…
So, until you are ready,
and God gives you clarity,
I will bask in your light patiently.
Until the time comes,
when you choose to shine on me,
so we can see if we
can spark a love
that will brighten the world indefinitely.

What the city is missing: Thierry Cohen photographs cityscapes and then photographs deserts at night, combing the two to show us what our cities would look like with the lights off. The stars are not enhanced, they are actual photos from relative latitudes that would expose the same starry sky view if it weren’t for light pollution. Click on each photo to see which city it is.

Ya Rab help me clear my mind, wipe away all my distractions so I can get close to You. My life is such a mess, all I want is to be close to You so You can help me overcome all my problems.
Sometimes, when I want to get angry at something, I realize that everything is going to cease to exist, like, I’m going to perish, I’m going to die, and that my anger in this situation can usually only do one thing: take me farther away from heaven.
