Overstand

Overstand: verb. To overstand is to comprehend something too well. Though the frequently repeated adage says that "one can never know too many things", it is a fact of life that people often do know too much, which takes a negative toll on them. Overstanding life, for example, is why many intelligent people turn to Nihilism, alcoholism, or plain old death to solve their dissatisfaction with what they have discovered the world to be. As another frequently repeated adage says, "ignorance is bliss." It is quite strange, really, how these two sayings can coexist alongside each other without the general populace taking notice. It seems one of them is always selected when deemed pertinent to a certain situation, leaving the other behind, forgotten, or rather, hushed up. As a rule, people see what they want to see, and choose the narrative they want to have.

Derstand

Derstand: verb. To be in a state of ignorance about some particular thing or things in general. Understanding is a negation of this state of ignorance - derstanding. An example of the word derstand and derstanding used in context would be the following: "Mr Brown completely derstood his wife. He did not care to learn about her interests or hobbies, and the only thing he ever talked to her about was Nihilism, which she boycotted, being a die-hard Existentialist. Of course, her husband did not know that, assuming her, in his derstanding, to be an Absurdist." 

Everyfrom

Everyfrom: preposition. From everywhere. The antonym of everyto - to everywhere. The word everyfrom was invented to simplify everyday language. Where one would usually say "people flocked to the market from everywhere" or "robbers attacked her from all sides", one can use the much shorter formulations "people flocked to the market everyfrom" and "robbers attacked her everyfrom." The word everyto is quite similar in this respect, and it has the added benefit of elucidating sentences. While one could say "the gnats flew everywhere", it is unclear whether the author of this sentence means to say that the gnats were in one place and flew from that one place into many different places, or whether the gnats were simply flying everywhere from the very beginning. The word everyto covers the second meaning; in the sentence "the gnats flew everyto", there is no confusion: the gnats simply flew from one place to a lot of other places.

Conduckt

Conduckt: verb. There are several meanings with which the word conduckt is frequently used.
1. To conduct ducks. Typically, a policeman or another public official conduckts, or becomes a conducktor, by stopping traffic to show crossing ducks the way using his or her baton.
2. To conduct, being a duck. A duck conduckts many things, such as heat, love, and electricity. 
3. To  let through by ducking. For example, if a duck is flying straight towards my head and I duck, thus letting it pass, I can be said to be conduckting.

Strate

Strate: adjective. Without a curve or bend, moving in one direction only. The shape of the shortest possible line from one point to another in a two dimensional space. We actually had to make this word up completely here at Enriching the English Dictionary, which is strange considering how useful it seems to be. It does sound familiar though...

Lieful

Lieful: Adjective. The antonym of truthful: to be full of lies. An example of this word used in context is: "That presidential candidate is so lieful. Then again... so are all politicians. The problem isn't whether one is truthful or lieful - it's clear that they all lie through their teeth. The problem is that this presidential candidate is a raving psychopath."

Dulcinean

Dulcinean: adjective. Idealised, idolised, glorified. A Dulcinean ideal is constructed over some real foundation - a person, animal, or object - though sometimes, even this reality is not necessary. The basic idea is then augmented by fantasy and wishful thinking. Thus, we arrive at someone or something Dulcinean, an idealised version of our romantic interest, desired meal, or favourite politician.

Special Announcement from one of our blog writers: Tomorrow is my dog's Name Day! To honour my wonderful bitch, I have given her the opportunity of entering history with her very own word. Ladies and gentlemen, I have the immense pleasure to present you with the first dictionary entry written completely by a dog:

I couldn't get her to write more, but this looks very insightful indeed.

Sanchian

Sanchian: adjective. The word Sanchian, synonymous with the word Panzian, denotes the quality of being very trusting, rather stupid, but capable, at the same time, of showing a great deal of prudence and judgement. A sanchian person will, for example, follow a deranged old man through dangerous and mostly imagined adventures at his own peril, yet will excercise Solomonic wisdom when in charge of a whole town. Some have argued that even the great Don Quixote is a Sanchian character, but the difference there, it seems, is that Don Quixote is highly intelligent consistently, and often appears to be aware of his own insanity, even indicating that it is ingeniously self-caused.

Dutchless

Dutchless: adjective. Lacking in Dutch people or Dutch qualities. For example, North Korea is, for the most part, completely Dutchless, with very few Dutch influences and very few Dutch tourists as well.

Dutchess

Dutchess: noun. A dutchess is the official term for a Dutch duchess. The word dutchess has been rendered largely obsolete following the year 1830, when Belgium and the Netherlands split and the Netherlands retained no duches or dutchesses save the monarch, who is the Duche or Dutchess of Limburg. Thus, the only duche surviving today is Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, and the only dutchess is his wife, Queen Máxima.

Jesuine

Jesuine: adjective. Contrary to popular belief, to be jesuine isn't to behave like a genuine Jesuit. Being stinking Catholics, it is indeed quite difficult, if not nearly impossible, for Jesuits to be genuine, the only exception, perhaps, being Pope Francis. To be jesuine is to genuinely behave like a Jesuit, in other words, to behave exactly like a Jesuit would. A person described as Jesuine will often employ caustic reasoning, softly question conservative Catholic dogma, and torture a couple of heretics here and there.

Jobial

Jobial: adjective. Someone called jobial accepts all challenges thrown their way with grace and good humour. Jobiality is typical of very religious people, who embrace all of their hardships and praise the Lord for his mysterious ways, maintaining a "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade" attitude in face of the meaningless void that is existence.
