    As English is not my mother tongue, I rarely use strong words in daily convos with friends/family. But I've been using 'Loathe' instead of 'deeply hate' nowadays during informal convos. :)

    Animus 1. “Hostility or ill feeling.” 2. “Motivation to do something.” 3. “Jung’s term for the masculine part of a woman’s personality.” 4. “The rational mind.” Definitions are from google, hence why they’re in quotes; I’m very bad at wording things so I apologize. (P.S. There’s a specific reason I know this word and if you can guess why, I think you’re pretty awesome!)

    Cornhobbling. The act of slapping someone in the face with a fish. So you're meaning to say that theres a word for that, but not for "The day after tomorrow" or "The day before yesterday"
