Describe something in life that has not been given an actual name.
By way of example: You know that weird feeling of almost leaving the body you get when you drive over a hill in the road in your car?
You get the idea, right?
Over to you then  |

This one has a name in French but not English and I think we need one.
L’ESPRIT DE L’ESCALIER: the witty retort you should have made but didn't come up with until it was too late. |

Another all too common one: When one decides upon a spot of jolly old skydiving when, mid-descent, it dawns upon you that you have in fact, inadvertently forgotten to pack your parachute.
‘Disappointment’ hardly seems to cover it..... |

"The specific sensation of releasing a pent up pee. One of the best feelings known to humankind, but if it has a name, I don't know it"
This! And that weird little uncomfortable feeling of ‘I really hope i’m not asleep and dreaming this’
Or is that just me?  |

I have the opposite, I bloody hope I'm dreaming that! 3 years later I still have horrors of unfinished essays |

Is that not just lost for words? Or no comeback? |

That'd be what happened initially but this is when you then think of what you should have said at the time. I don't speak French so I'm relying on stuff I've read but apparently it means something like spirit of the staircase, so you're already halfway out before you think of a comeback. I like it! |
