What counts as a 'Hyperspecific' word?
A hyperspecific word, at least in my own definition of it, would be any word that conveys a situation or feeling with the same nuance that one would normally have to use multiple words to convey. In short, it is a (normally) relatively unused or unknown word that helps eliminate the need to say a full sentence to convey something. This prevents miscommunication due to people not fully explaining things because in their mind, it is implied, as well as the common issue of people not knowing how to phrase things. The use of a single, efective word, can eliminate the need to even HAVE a full phrase. Of course, this isn't foolproof. So please don't sue me if you use one of these words and it leads to your divorce.
