Q1 What’s the most interesting or unusual word you’ve encountered in English or another language?

@neve
What’s the most interesting or unusual word I’ve encountered?

I've always been partial to: triskaidekaphobia

(thanks to my dad) It's a fear of the number 13.

@neve

A1. This is probably not what you mean (I've heard of some really interesting words that encompass ideas we don't express in a single word in English but I can't think of them rn)

But I love the Japanese word "oishi" おいし which means tasty becuase it just sounds right.

@neve Probably pecksnifian. It means being a two-faced hypocrite pretending to be nice.
