Bummed. This seems to be a word that constantly rolls out of ones mouth more than often (mainly my own.) It’s a great word and immediately gets those onomatopoeia fanatics gyrating, with about as much excitement as the common everyday person has when finding a coin down the back of sofa and then realising it’s only a penny. Fantastic.
However it perfectly describes the feeling you get when your feeling too lazy to actually be lazy and gradually you begin to wonder whether or not you are just having a mature strop. The only difference between being bummed and having a temper tantrum is that you are constantly thinking “why cant I be bothered to do anything?” Perhaps this is a way to separate the intelligent people in society; people who just strop/ moan do it because they can, where as people who are just bummed are far more inquisitive and aware of what they are feeling. And yes do realise I have just classed myself as an inteligant person.
None the less it is a word that should definitely be making its way in to the OED shortly. It is a word that allows the user to blatantly express and unknown feeling, whilst refusing to do anything and feeling immensely sorry for themselves.
