A Word is Born (and now you're in the man from Mars)

This week, Frinkenstein and I discovered a hole in the English lexicon. There is no English word for the combination of feelings you have when something is really great, but you don’t want it to be. Your heart says, “Yes! Yes! Yes!” but your brain says, “Ohhh, no, no, no …we’re doomed.” (Don’t tell me you don’t know what I’m talking about.)

So for the sake of future etymologists, let it be written in the annals of the Internets: On Friday, June 23, 2006, Andrew E. Heckman coined this much-needed word: Crapture.
