I read this one word in one of my books, which I unfortunatly lent out so I can't look it up, which I thought was pretty cool. But blast it all if I can't remember it now!
Basically, it's welsh, and I was given to understand that it described the feeling of needing to travel but still feel a home sickness. I want to say it starts with an "f" like fiaoshe or something... Well if anyone knows what I'me talking about, please let me know because its driving me crazy.

SRL uses 'taithchwant' and 'firaeth' in the Celtic Crusades. One is wanderlust and the other longing for home.

Did you know that the word is "the bird"? For those who are not familiar, there is a song by that name. The word you're looking for could be used in our new thread in word games, "Words that are Cool", Gwalchmai!!

I've always liked the word "Superfluous Piffle". I use it every chance I get.
