Range anxiety

@Rosechalice remember?

Range anxiety, a term commonly associated with electric vehicles (EVs), refers to the apprehension and worry experienced by EV owners about the adequacy of their vehicle’s battery charge to complete a journey or the availability of charging stations along the way.

Actually, now that I think about it, I was always a big consumerist, at least when it comes to food, I used to liquidate large quantities quite fast lol…
However, I never really cared much about random things, objects, clothes, etc., just wasn’t into collecting or acquiring stuff, beyond one or a few samples, maximum, so in that sense, I wasn’t or I’m still not much of an Acquisitive individual.

Little by little, I acquire more English slang and, well, vocabulary lol.

ooooh I had forgotten about that one. What is the word for sounds or feels good pronouncing it?

Two that don’t quite fit the bill but are nice words are:

phonaesthemic - the study of beauty and pleasantness associated with the sounds of certain words or parts of words

and

onomatopoeia - a word sounding like what it represents (buzz, twinkle)

  2. Sweet and smooth; generally used of a person’s voice, tone or writing style.

Naivety

I forgot how it’s spelled lol, as sometimes I find some common English and Romanian words and the spelling is a little bit different, but that’s all.

Speaking of naivety, I used to be quite naive, often, maybe some naivety still lingers in my system (which may not be a bad thing, considering that it could boost or help other positive traits and sustain self improvement, although maybe indirectly).

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis

This is the disease I am diagnosed with :cold_sweat:

It’s a medical term but still probably the longest word I heard. It’s a terminal disease in which benign tumours grow anywhere in your body till they kill you through growing into lungs or brain or any other place where they become fatal.
