A great piece from last Sunday’s Times. I credit Reiner & Brooks’ 2000-Year-Old Man performances with influencing the majority of my sense of humor.

Mamihlapinatapai is a word from the Yaghan language of Tierra del Fuego, listed in The Guinness Book of World Records as the “most succinct word”, and is considered one of the hardest words to translate.
