As much as I enjoy the rich texture of the English language and all of it’s frivolities, I found this article on Quartz that caused a pang of regret. Here’s my two favorites:
Tsundoku (Japanese): Leaving a book unread after buying it, typically piled up together with other unread books.
Cotisuelto (Caribbean Spanish): A man who insists on wearing his shirt tails untucked.
Imagine how much time you’d save having to explain my lifestyle to someone with those.
