Need a word for the emotion when your phone/laptop battery goes below 10%...and you are nowhere near your charger...

I think "panic" covers it pretty well hahahah.

But I agree - there could be something more specific. Any ideas? :D

There should be a word that describes that feeling of euphoric self-satisfaction with yourself when you realise you've said the right thing and are deeply impressed by how you've managed to fool yourself for a moment into thinking that you're an absolute genius.

EDIT: just realised proud pretty much covers it lol. But maybe something more specific to the feeling of unexpectedly being proud of yourself from a moment of great clarity and evident genius.

"Brang" should be a real word.

There should be a word for an accident that turns into something cool (other than me -- thanks, Mum)

Like when you drop something and catch it on your foot

Or you trip and do a flip as you fall down (saw it happen once!)

Awecident?
Awesome + Accident
When faced with a problem, you either find a way or an excuse.

What about just serendipity? A happy coincidence/accident?

These are words that I frequently use that are not real words

-Screenshat: Past tense of screenshot.
-Overstand: Not understanding, or understanding so much that you get it.
-Askhole: Someone who asks so many questions that it starts to become irritating. (me all the time)



Overstanding is a very good one! I relate!

That sounds more like when a woman is awkward because she is surrounded by men in a public place ;D
Awkward and Woman and ness just goes on everything :D

'alot' and 'alittle'.....i mean what is the harm in making these two compound words relevant.
