I'm trying to think of/invent phrases which describe a particular feeling...

[i]'[insert number here] pint euphoria'[/i] - the exact point at which you slip into the delusional belief that everything is alright with the world.

[i]'Lone-golding'[/i] - solo rides during which you clear everything perfectly, and there's nobody around to see it.

[i]'Shirk ethic'[/i] - concentrating very hard on something, when you should be doing something else (in my case, spec'ing a CX/rough stuff tourer build when I should be writing a research proposal).

Yes, and see also [i]The meaning of Liff[/i]... but it doesn't preclude new ones. 🙂

You're out of date. Nowadays you don't need to find an adjective to describe your state of mind, you just witter: "I was.... like... WOW! The world IS alright after all!"

I'm well out of date, it's true. I'm still running a quill stem, for one thing. 😳

[i]Querosis[/i] - the slow, sinking realisation that you chose the wrong supermarket checkout.
