Bandersnatch

Geez! What a bandersnatch!

Next time your child is acting like an imaginary animal of fierce disposition or an uncouth menace, just call him a bandersnatch. Then watch him roll his eyes and say, "Mom, why do you have to be so WEIRD?"

Weltschmerz

It must be awful to be a pug. To know that at every moment of every day your face looks like you just ran full bore into the patio door. Or like a candle that's slowly dripping into an unregnizable mess. I guess you'd have to have a sense of weltschmerz, sorrow for the sad state of your existence but wearily accepting it.
