Making up words in some circumstances is something that can arise spontaneously or perhaps a word is needed for particular cases.
I'm posting this to meet a nice challenge set by in this post.
In my case, I thought and thought a lot and remembered a word that had not come to my mind before. I invented it at the time when my grandmother was sick and I don't know if it was because of anxiety or for whatever reason, but she always wanted to eat something, not because she was hungry but simply because she felt like eating something delicious.
She had cancer, an inoperable tumour in her brain, I gave her all the treats. I cooked whatever she wanted, she ate all day long.
But in those days I once told her: You are not hungry, what you have is "Goliguio".
She was Italian, the daughter of Italian parents, although born in Argentina, and she spoke many words in Italian. I don't know why that word came out, it seemed to me, when I said it, that she felt Italian.
My grandmother smiled and from then on we adopted it in my family.
This word means to want to eat something, but not out of hunger, but to eat something just for the sake of it. Like the stomach is asking for something delicious, tasty.
It refers to a meal out of the normal schedule, it is neither breakfast, nor lunch, snack or dinner.
Nor is it a hearty meal, but more like a treat, something tasty.
To give an example, if I say: I have "Goliguio", it means that I feel like eating something, but without a real appetite. It can be a craving for something specific, like something sweet, something out of the ordinary.
My grandmother loved that word, she said it with a real Italian accent and when she was no longer with us, we continued to use it in the family.
Now it is a family word and we always remember my grandmother every time we mention it. Words that go together with memories.
Greetings to all.
