1. A look shared by two people, each wishing that
the other would initiate something that they both desire but which
neither wants to begin.
How often have you had this happen and not had a name for the word to describe it?? Well now you do! I am a huge advocate of making the English language more complete and descriptive by finding words for everything (everything!) and then bringing those words into wider circulation. It is a wonderful thing to find EXACTLY the right word for something. Those of you who think you may have never felt this ecstasy, think back on some argument you had where you finally won (even if the other person would not admit it) with a perfect sentence. That is another experience that evokes the joys of English.
Have fun trying to pronounce this one. ;) Thanks to my roommate who, knowing my love for words, found this one especially for me. It made me feel special. :)
