There's no denying that it feels good to be understood. There's also no denying how hard it is sometimes for words to accurately describe the complicated mess that makes up our lives.

"I'm just feeling... I don't even know..."
"You feel sad?"
"No..."
"Anxious?"
"Not really."
"You feel like there's a big hole in your life but you have no idea what's supposed to fill it?"
"Yes!"

The crazy thing is, the English language has been developing and evolving for over 1,400 years. Needless to say, there are a lot of words out there. So rather than advising you to scour the dictionary for the perfect word, I've done you a favor and compiled a list of 10 words that you just have to know.

1. Accubation.

[ak-yoo-bay-shuh-n] : eating or drinking while lying down.

Usually a semi-regrettable choice when you realize how many crumbs are now hidden within the folds of your sheets, but it's definitely worth it. Who has the energy to sit up and eat at a table like a normal person, anyways? That's just way too much effort.

2. Velleity.

[vuh-lee-i-tee] : a wish or inclination not strong enough to lead to action.

Wow. Yep. This is my life. It's that struggle of wanting to get good grades, but not wanting to wake up for class. Or there's always the classic struggle of not wanting to wear pants. Ever. Like, actually, no thank you.

3. Algedonic.

[al-je-don-ik] : something that is both painful and pleasurable.

Two words: working out. I know I'll be proud of myself afterwards and the chance to tell all your friends that you went to the Rec today is too good to pass up. But it hurts. And then I'm going to have to shower. Ugh.

4. Pyrrhic.

[pir-ik] : successful with heavy losses.

Staying up all night or skipping a night out with friends in order to study is the worst, but getting a good grade on that exam or project is always a win. Sometimes you have to take those heavy losses in order to succeed.

5. Callipygous.

[kal-uh-pahy-gus] : having shapely buttocks

This word was just too good to not put on this list. Now, instead of "she gotta donk" or "junk in the trunk," you can be ever so clever and use this weird, long word. Have fun complimenting your friends' booties and watching their confused reactions.

6. Abeyance.

[uh-bey-uhns] : temporary inactivity, cessation, or suspension.

It's the golden rule of studying: for every successful 10 minutes of actually learning stuff, you get to watch five episodes of "Friends" on Netflix. Repeat until there are no episodes left and you cry yourself to sleep.

7. Lachrymose.

[lak-ruh-mohs] : inclined to weep or shed tears.

So basically this is me whenever a dog dies in a movie. Or when I don't want to get out of bed. Or when I realize I'm never going to marry James Marsden. Which is really unfortunate because James Marsden is beautiful.

8. Omphaloskepsis.

[om-fuh-loh-skep-sis] : contemplation of one's navel as an aid to meditation.

Okay, so it probably won't make it into your regular repertoire, but this word still deserves your love. I encourage you to spend at least 30 seconds trying to pronounce it correctly. I promise it's fun (click here to listen to a robotic dictionary man pronounce it for you if you're really struggling).

9. Crapulence.

[krap-yuh-luhns] : sickness from eating or drinking too much.

One of the greatest things I have learned since I've come to college is how to have enough self control to stop eating my Chipotle burrito and save half of it for another meal. It is the great mission of the poor college student, but sometimes it is worth it to eat the whole thing and waddle around for the rest of the day in slightly sickening but ever so happy success.

10. Acataphasia.

[ey-kat-uh-feyz-ee-uh] : a loss of the ability to express oneself using organized syntax.

And at last, a brilliant word that you will never have to use because you have just added 10 incredible new words to your vocabulary. This is, however, an unfortunate epidemic that is seizing the speech of our generation.

Say no more to the overabundant usage of "literally!"

Say goodbye to describing your emotions with the illogical fragment of "can't even!"

Get out there and discover the wonderful words the English language has to offer. There's a reason we print giant books with thousands of pages full of them. And if you have a velleity for scouring those pages, you can always use Google.
