words and that

according to my favorite thing ever, wikipedia,

Unlike English, many other languages have traditional terms to denote limerence, like the German Verliebtheit, Scandinavian forelskelse or Russian влюблённость (vlyublyonnost); these expressions may roughly be translated to “fallen-in-love-ness”.

what if countries competed with each other to have lots of words that mean interesting things in the same way they compete to have lots of bombs and stuff? maybe they do. i know about these crazy cats but do they have a similar big round table in washington somewhere with guys going 'we need more words for snow'? if anyone would like to write a short story or perhaps a comic novella about this i am too lazy to do it so go ahead.
