Meaning of Liff

David · April 2006

In the true keeping of [The Meaning Of Liff](http://folk.uio.no/alied/TMoL.html) whats the word for a word you suddenly realise you know the meaning of in your mid thirties but you were never taught the meaning of and you've subconsciously worked it out via a method of deduction over the years?

What word is this?

It's got to be part of the new DIY vocabulary I promised you would learn.

andy · April 2006

Did you ever remember the word?

David · June 2006

Hey, I finally remembered the word: Sanguine. Not that exciting but hey.

David · February 2008

Had another today: Stoic.

I'd still like to give this phenomena a word all of its own.

I know its off on a tangent, but my favourite word is transmogrification.

andy · February 2008

Ah transmogrification. Keep in mind it is a new technology.
