Invented words linked to family memories.
Making up words in some circumstances is something that can arise spontaneously or perhaps a word is needed for particular cases.
I'm posting this to meet a nice challenge set by @galenkp in this post.
In my case, I thought and thought a lot and remembered a word that had not come to my mind before. I invented it at the time when my grandmother was sick and I don't know if it was because of anxiety or for whatever reason, but she always wanted to eat something, not because she was hungry but simply because she felt like eating something delicious.
She had cancer, an inoperable tumour in her brain, I gave her all the treats. I cooked whatever she wanted, she ate all day long.
But in those days I once told her: You are not hungry, what you have is "Goliguio".
She was Italian, the daughter of Italian parents, although born in Argentina, and she spoke many words in Italian. I don't know why that word came out, it seemed to me, when I said it, that she felt Italian.
My grandmother smiled and from then on we adopted it in my family.
This word means to want to eat something, but not out of hunger, but to eat something just for the sake of it. Like the stomach is asking for something delicious, tasty.
It refers to a meal out of the normal schedule, it is neither breakfast, nor lunch, snack or dinner.
Nor is it a hearty meal, but more like a treat, something tasty.
To give an example, if I say: I have "Goliguio", it means that I feel like eating something, but without a real appetite. It can be a craving for something specific, like something sweet, something out of the ordinary.
My grandmother loved that word, she said it with a real Italian accent and when she was no longer with us, we continued to use it in the family.
Now it is a family word and we always remember my grandmother every time we mention it. Words that go together with memories.
Greetings to all.

I also have a new word: amonendente. From Amonet and surprising (sorprendente). I wasn't expecting a post from you at this hour. A hug and sleep well @avdesign

i read and i think goligio is gula muajaja and i like it because that is my favorite capital sin 😋 even is the food is healthy or not
I have at last one word too, "toto"... i like the toto of Avxzilla \😃/
If the words are similar but not... it's eating something but not much hahahahaha
What a barbarity!🤣
How are you dear friend, good morning
I loved knowing that you have a made-up word that identifies something.
Something similar happens to me, I have "Goliguio" when I sit down to watch a television program, that's when I get the desire to eat something, I thought it was a question of anxiety
Thank you very much @avdesing for adding a word to our vocabulary
Have a beautiful Sunday
It's good to have a word for it hahaha.
It was an exceptional publication and I loved doing it! Thanks @jlufer 😃
My mother also had brain cancer (tumor). She died relatively quickly (after a few months) on 2017.12.17. She was good in the summer. It started in the autumn. At first she went into the hospital. I regularly visited her there. I gave her bananas and other foods. Then later they transported her to the hospice care in another city. She died after that shortly. I could not visit her there.
It's a very sad situation, to see how they are leaving little by little. You do what you can.
How interesting, a stranger to say something as simple as that, I'm curious to hear how it's pronounced jiji
Just as it is written in fact it was always spoken .... I said how do you write this I made it up hahaha
I have a weakness for that sweet I see in your cover photo and that's a "Goliguio" right now. 🤣
(by the way, when I studied Italian this ending "guio" was very difficult).
Gracias por contarnos estas bonitas historias de tu vida.
My grandmother was the one who spoke the most Italian, and it was funny, some remained in the family and in the memories, she loved that word... there were others! hahaha
It's an oreo cake that!!! My mother made it.
🤤
