Ennui: pronounced ahn – wee
–noun a feeling of utter weariness and discontent resulting from satiety or lack of interest; boredom: The endless lecture produced an unbearable ennui.
I do not have ennui. I actually just heard it used in an audio I was listening to. They referred to it as teenage ennui, and I don’t know… I just liked the sound of it.
And of course… it reminded me of this:
No worries. I think I have the opposite of this. I have Off-wee. Which would be defined as:
–noun a feeling of total ENERGY and contentment resulting from interest; excitement: The things happening in my life have produced an abundance of off-wee.

(I can almost feel the dork meter rising within me…..)


This is short and sweet – and had me smiling. Off-wee is a VERY funny word.
LOL Rosanne 😀
LOVE off-wee
Although I don’t want to have it, ennui is one of my favorite words. Maybe because of the way it just kind of rolls off the tongue, haha. And if a word was ever a person, ennui is Michel 😀
Mary I love the word too…. its something you would want to be if it wasn’t so…. so….
depressing. 😀
Your word “off-wee” reminds me of balderdash…remember that game?
Yes, ennui is an intriguing word….
I’m glad you didn’t catch that “ennui” virus!
Laurel you know I love Balderdash and all things word games 🙂
You are totally the definition of off-wee. 😀
Hee hee… thanks Jill. I want to throw a party and say “Off-wee for everyone…. I’m getting this round!”
LOL….
I hope it lasts and lasts….
I was going to say …! Of course you don’t have ennui! BUT, it is a fun word. There are just so many good quotes from Gilmore Girls, gah!
Hannah I wish I could just quote and quote Gilmore Girls… so much good footage – and I wish I could find a clip for Friends when Joey put Little Women in the freezer because the book scared him… he thought the little women were freakishly small….
I have looked and looked for that clip…. but still… nothing. 😛
LOL… I like the new word…
I think I’m off-wee too!
YAY Deb – mental high hive! 😀
The second I saw your post title I thought of that Gilmore Girls scene. I love that show so much 😀
Caitie I do too – it is so good! I miss it!
You have more energy than anyone I know!
Kathy – I so wish I did 🙂 You just see the coffee side of me : D LOL
I thought of Michel too when I saw the title of your post. 🙂
Michel is awesome isn’t he Alyce? 😀
Ha ha! Glad you’re feeling like your normal self again Sheila! 🙂
Thanks Jill! I still have the annoying cough but the rest is pretty much history 😀
LOL off-wee sounds much more fun than ennui. 🙂
I agree 😀
Off-wee is it? Sounds like another pinging start to the day. May you ping along in Off-wee all day. Have a good one.
It is off-wee although as my day now winds down I am a bit tired…. so maybe just…. off. No wee. 😛
