Basorexia
[ pronounced BAsoREXia ]
The sudden urge to kiss someone.
- From the TEDTalk below (at about 2:28), by Tiffany Watt Smith, which includes a bunch of emotions where there are no words in English, but which you may well have experienced, but never had one single word to describe them! Or which you may go out and try to see if you can conjure up the feeling from hints in its definition for where and/or under what conditions one might experience it.
In today’s culture with sexual assault, this isn’t a light-hearted word it once was. However, it does exist for some, mischief or seriously wrong, or potentially abused as an excuse.
