Things They Should Invent Words For

1. When something fucking obvious that you have trouble actually explaining it because it is so incredibly fucking obvious. (e.g. "Why would you want to retire? What on earth would you do with your time?")

2. When you read or hear something about someone that makes you think they're an asshole, then time passes and you forget why exactly you think they're an asshole but you remain convinced that they're an asshole.

3. The phenomenon where someone in one breath tells you not to worry about the thing you're worrying about, then in the next breath says that you should be worrying about something else that you've already thought about and have determined to the best of your judgement is not worth worrying about.

PLEASE, someone, invent a word for this. It'll help me describe 2/3 of the CPC party, 2/3 of the Liberal shadow cabinet, and 1/4 of the NDP.

These figures are at best an estimate.

#2!! I need #2!

Just the other day, I was wondering why I don't like the writer Jonathan Lethem. It has something to do with him being mean to a friend of mine who is also a writer. But I can't remember what it was.

Please let us know if you come up with a word for this.
