We’ve all lost something. Then we looked for it. Usually, the missing item was covered up or in an unexpected place. Sometimes, however, the missing object was in our hands. We went from room to room searching for the thing we carried in our hand. Usually, this missing object is a cell phone. Sometimes, we have even looked for a cell phone to call the cell phone that we misplaced in our hand. Honestly, sometimes we haven’t really progressed from our distant ancestor, the primordial ooze.
But we don’t have a word to describe this process.
It’s high time to correct this oversight.
TODAY’S AWESOME WORD
hanselost
Awesome entry #14
– Paul De Lancey, The Comic Chef, Ph.D.
Check out my latest novel, the hilarious apocalyptic thriller, Do Lutheran Hunks Eat Mushrooms? It’s published by HumorOutcasts and is available in paperback or Kindle on amazon.com
I like Paul’s Awesome English Dictionary.
hanselost (4): Hansel found that he (Hansel) was lost until he (Hansel) was found. In the game of life, Hansel had a Grimm outlook and this was understandable for what hanselost was a fairy tale view of cake.
Exactly the word I’ve been looking for.
