If you frequently find yourself grasping for the right word to describe something, you may want to look overseas. Researcher Adam Jacot de Boinod trawled through hundreds of dictionaries worldwide to find the ultimate list of terms that sum up complex situations.

Bakku-shan {Japanese} A girl who looks as though she might be pretty when seen from behind, but isn't when seen from the front.

Kucir {Indonesian} A tuft of hair left to grow on top of an otherwise bald head.

Tingo {Pascuense, Easter Island} To borrow something from a friend's house that you have no intention of returning.

Chenyin {Chinese} Muttering to oneself

Koshatnik {Russian} A dealer in stolen cats

O Ka La Nokonoko {Hawaiian} A day spent in nervous anticipation of a coughing fit. :D

Ngaobera {Pascuense} A slight inflammation of the throat caused by screaming too much

& my favourite..
War nam nihadan {Persian} To murder someone, bury their body, then grow some flowers on it to conceal it
