Tirosy

n.
a complicated feeling of envy and admiration for people younger than you—their eyes shining with energy, their futures rich with potential, their confidence smooth and untouched like a freshly opened jar of peanut butter, which you simultaneously want to preserve forever and gleefully undercut.

Latin tiros, beginners, new recruits + jealousy. Pronounced “teer-uh-see.”
