Your friend asks you how you’re doing and you quickly respond, “Fine.”

Sometimes that’s the legitimate truth. Sometimes it’s easier then going all into it… “Well, I woke up in a crabby mood and then it turns out I went to a meeting with my pants unsewn in the crotch so I flashed everyone and so that was a bad start to a worse day.” Sometimes you don’t want to tell people how happy you are either. It’s almost too much revelation into your personal life, if that’s what’s influencing your happiness.

Then there are those days when you don’t exactly feel “fine.” It’s not good or bad or fine. It just is. Sometimes you feel like you’re floating in some limbo land and everything just is. So what do you call it? Is there a term for it?

There is.

“Lurpy,” coined by my friend Glen in college at OU. It’s a spectacular word to describe those feelings that have no word. It’s a flexible word that can mean what you want to it to.

Use it. Feel lurpy.
