Did you know these everyday things actually have names?
1. The space between your eyebrows is called a glabella.
2. The fresh smell after rain is petrichor.
3. The plastic tip of your shoelace? That’s an aglet!
4. A rumbling stomach is a wamble.
5. A newborn’s cry is vagitus.
6. Fork prongs are tines.
7. The light you see when pressing your eyes is phosphenes.
8. That little plastic table in a pizza box? It’s a box tent.
9. The day after tomorrow is overmorrow.
10. Your tiny toe is minimus.
11. A champagne cork’s wire cage is an agraffe, while meaningless "na na na" in songs are vocables.
12. The space between nostrils is columella nasi, and the hole where your sleeve attaches is an armscye.
13. Struggling to get out of bed? That’s dysania.
14. A messy handwriting is griffonage, the dot over an "i" is a tittle, and feeling sick after overeating is crapulence.

Great job, OP!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

Fun Fact: Did you know that the Yoruba word, 'didirin' used to describe an extremely sluggish person, actually has an English version? It's 'dithering' (although used as a verb) For example: "Stop dithering and do what you have to do fast.'
