A new word for an emotion that, very oddly, previously had no word in English:
Squeeglee – “the emotion people experience when perceiving something as cute, such as a baby or puppy.”
Noun: “When a cat wears a hat, it fills me with squeeglee.”
Verb: “I squeeglee that kitten.”
This word is the winner of a poll where I proposed four ideas for what to call this emotion of finding something (non-sexually) cute.
