Gracious Word: Gymnophoria

5/28/2014

 
Gymnophoria
Word every Gracious Individual should know: Gymnophoria

Definition: Gymnophoria; noun
1. The distinct feeling that someone, somewhere, is mentally undressing you.

Why I love this word:
Yes, there's really a word for this. Do you ever just crave someone’s presence? You just crave being next to them, but you don't do anything besides look. And sometimes, well sometimes that's much more fun than the actual doing.
