in other words

I heard Christopher Moore, on NPR this morning talking about his book In Other Words . I think it's definitely going to be worth checking out. Just the term "korinthenkacker" did it for me...: )

What was the word in Czech that meant "I am so depressed about how depressed I am"?

Czech

litost [lee-tosht] (noun)

This is an untranslatable emotion that only a Czech person would suffer from, defined by Milan Kundera as "a state of torment created by the sudden sight of one's own misery." Devices for coping with extreme stress, suffering, and change are often special and unique to cultures and born out of the meeting of despair with a keen sense of survival.
