Plámás. Pronounced plaw-maws. It's an Irish word that mostly means "gently placate" or "smooth talk" but usually I would use it in the context of placating someone who's behaving badly.
e.g. Don't plámás that eejit. You'll only encourage him.
I don't think it directly translates to English though someone with better vocabulary may correct me.
Yes indeed it's very close, but in my head it's slightly more active.
Let's say a child is having a meltdown and the parent is trying to (incorrectly) placate them by giving them an ice cream. That would be plámásing. I feel like it actively encourages the bad behaviour rather than being more neutral which I'd consider "humouring".
Qualia - instances of subjective conscious experience
It's fun to say, fun to think about how your red and my red differ subjectively but we still agree that red is red, and just a fun word.
The concept itself has many strong detractors and arguments against it being real, but eh, I'll keep on thinking about it.
I love what it represents, how it can be good or evil depending on your point of view (there's a reason why DnD used it as an axis perpendicular to Good-Evil), and it sounds really cool. It is also the first word I'd use to describe my life at any point in time. Maybe life itself!
It sounds good in all languages I know but has the distinction of sounding even better in English, despite coming from the Greek Kaos it somehow sounds cooler in English (a distinction shared by few, if any, other words coming from Greek to English). It is also written in an amazing manner, with a "H" that came out of nowhere and has no reason to be there other than just cause... Chaos. I love it.
The Greek pronunciation is actually Haos (with a heavy H like hotel), so this is where H is coming from. It's the C that is actually added in order for English to attempt to pronounce it closer to the original sound (and fail as per usual. Look up paranoia for example).
So it is! I don't know why I remembered it as kaos (καος with the accent somewhere, I don't know Greek, modern or ancient). It's χάος. Makes total sense.
