This is my favorite fucking song of all time. Once I was with my girlfriend in the car on the way back from a weekend out of town, and I said:
“I’m going to play you my favorite fucking song of all time.”
Now if anyone ever told me a song was their fucking favorite (of all time), I, personally, would listen to every lyric, dissect every chord— to discover what it was about this song in all the history of music spoke so dearly to your soul. It’s in our nature to personify ourselves in artistic works, to seek out and choose the ones that reflect who we are on the inside; who we were and who we want to be, or what we want most dearly.
My girlfriend talked through the entirety of the song, telling me about some other guy making some flirtatious smalltalk forever ago.
So I broke up with her.

give me hot old women in high heels
with asses that forgot to get old.” —Charles Bukowski, “One of the Hottest”

Ten Relationship Words That Aren't Translatable Into English
- Mamihlapinatapei (Yagan, an indigenous language of Tierra del Fuego): The wordless yet meaningful look shared by two people who desire to initiate something, but are both reluctant to start.
- Yuanfen (Chinese): A relationship by fate or destiny. This is a complex concept. It draws on principles of predetermination in Chinese culture, which dictate relationships, encounters and affinities, mostly among lovers and friends.
- Cafuné (Brazilian Portuguese): The act of tenderly running your fingers through someone's hair.
- Retrouvailles (French): The happiness of meeting again after a long time.
- Ilunga (Bantu): A person who is willing to forgive abuse the first time; tolerate it the second time, but never a third time.
- La Douleur Exquise (French): The heart-wrenching pain of wanting someone you can’t have.
- Koi No Yokan (Japanese): The sense upon first meeting a person that the two of you are going to fall into love.
- Ya’aburnee (Arabic): “You bury me.” It’s a declaration of one’s hope that they’ll die before another person, because of how difficult it would be to live without them.
- Forelsket: (Norwegian): The euphoria you experience when you’re first falling in love.
- Saudade (Portuguese): The feeling of longing for someone that you love and is lost. Another linguist describes it as a "vague and constant desire for something that does not and probably cannot exist."
