Hickering

Hickering

n.
the habit of falling hard for whatever pretty new acquaintance happens to come along, spending hours wallowing in the handful of details you can gather about them, connecting the dots into elaborate constellations, even imagining an entire future together—images that have no particular purpose, except that they’re kinda fun to think about.

Hebrew (hikrín), to project an image + hankering, craving. Pronounced “hik-er-ing.”
