From last month's list of outstanding words on Mental_floss, I am selecting kummerspeck for inclusion into my 2012 vocabulary.
From the German Kummer (“grief”) and Speck (“bacon”). Kummerspeck (n) Excess weight gained due to emotion-caused overeating.
My sister's kummerspeck provides me schadenfreude.
I bow to German superiority in wordsmithing.
