Unticipation

We heard from Alan Friedman, who offered a word that I’m surprised isn’t a word already.

And that word is, if you’re dreading something, you don’t want it to happen, you’re in a state of anticipation.

Oh, so logical, right?

Morphologically sound, perfectly cromulant English.

Yes.

Yes.

And I’ve been looking all over the Internet for uses of this term, and I can’t find them.

So I’m just baffled.

Yeah, I’ve reached the age where most things on my calendar that involve going out at night, I have anticipation for them.

That’s a perfect usage of the term, anticipation.

Thank you, Alan.
