Wow.... it is an awesome word.... as in its awesome tht the whole situation can be described in one word and we dont even know about it. I'd never use it tho.. it's too long... maybe we should use a short form... :P

@ Arslan: True! :) Though I wish we had something like this. Sigh :)

@ Tangled: Lol, so now I have a word for my behaviour, which is slightly more accurate than "hysterical". Ha.

@ PN: Let me know how you plan to achieve that. God knows I want some too :D

They have a word for that?

Wow!! :) English is missing so many words I tell you.

You know, how sometimes when you're in a really awkward situation and you get so nervous that you just start giggling for no particular reason even when it doesnt really help your cause..

English doesnt have a word for that.

But French does. "Fou Rire"

How I love it! :)

@ AD: Here and I am talking about the Karle Aankhein Chaar phenomenon, and you start talking about Pitai.

Not cool, AD, not cool. I must have a word with your better half sometime. *shakes head in disapproval*

I like the sound of pinatapai.

Somehow reminds me of the Hindi word pitai, which is always so much fun, as long as you are not the one at the receiving end!

Is there some sort of etymological logic to it? Just to help remember.

On related note - I <3 The Meaning of Liff/The Deeper Meaning of Liff for that reason. Words to describe things that were ignored earlier. Like ABERYSTWYTH (n.) A nostalgic yearning which is in itself more pleasant than the thing being yearned for.
