10 unusual phenomena, which, it turns out, there are terms

In the world there are billions of words that describe a variety of situations and concepts. However, some phenomena are so rare that we would never have occurred to give them a separate name. However, every culture and language is always possible to find something unique, for example the names of things, which we never even thought.

People tend to Schadenfreude (joy in the misery of others) and not foreign to the state Glucksman (misery joy of others), we can detect a clear backpfeifengesicht. This is a German word roughly translated as "a person who is extremely highly recommended fist."

The idea that some individuals tend downright asking for a blow, is not unusual and even has some scientific basis. Scientists believe that at the dawn of humanity, when the main weapon of the war was strong right hook, people could in a special way to evolve the face, becoming able to take a shot.

Apply CH

Malaysian word for "to write the request" means the period of time during which a person manages to eat one banana. When the clock was not yet widespread, the word was used for a rough estimation of time. If someone said that the guest will come to apply to the request, which meant it should be expected in about two minutes. The Finnish word "poronkusema" (the distance a reindeer can travel without stopping) is applied on a similar principle.

Nachur

In Persian, the word "of Nachor" refers to "the camel that won't give milk until she'll tickle the nostrils". As strange as it may sound, but the expression really means that these animals farmers a lot to make the milking process a little easier. It turns out that to obtain camel milk is not easy. Unlike cows and other animals, the udder of the camel is extremely sensitive. In addition, the mother gives milk only when it asks the calf. People can milk her only during feeding. In addition, in the udder at a time of milk is only for 90 seconds and the camel is required 10-minute break to recover. All these conditions make getting incredibly useful camel milk is extremely time-consuming process.

Parlamentare

Portuguese word "parametera" refers to "a person who joins a group of mourners at the funeral, ostensibly in order to Express their condolences, but actually wanting to eat free".

Since 2000, annual economic growth averaged only about 1 percent. While people tend to parlamentare seem at first glance, a miser or a Freeloader, his behavior may be forced by the financial crisis of Portugal.

The same principle describes the Filipino word "gintaman", translated literally as "energy of the first wife."

This word refers to the culture of polygamous marriages. In such families the first wife, as a rule, provides oversight for all subsequent. This adds to its share of weighty responsibility, but also allows you to keep the other wife would draw excessive attention to itself the wife.

Okuri-Okami

The Japanese expression "okuri-Okami" describes "the man who pretends to be serious and intellectual, meeting with the girl, only that, being alone, begin to stick to her". Although such a word in Japanese vocabulary exists, these situations do not happen as often as it might seem.

Pakikibahagi

In the Ojibwe language the word is characterized by "the taste of a cornered animal." By the way, recent studies have shown that the taste can really exist. Burn in the muscles desperately fleeing animal glycogen after his death, is converted to lactic acid.
