I’ve been told I have agerasia. Does that make me agerasiastic, agerasian, agerasiatic or an agerasiast? Spellcheck likes agerasian. As I get closer to 50, I’m really glad to have a word for it, even if that word sounds like a terrible disease.
‘Mamamouchi’ is a delight to say out loud, and has an equally delectable meaning: ‘someone who believes themselves more important than they really are’.

ReplyDeleteThe pronunciation guide makes it sound like "age-eraser" which seems apropos.
