Söling
“This winter has been murder on my lips.” I rummage in the drawer for some Burt’s Bees lip balm.
“Yeah, it has been dry.”
“Soothing Cooling Refreshing,” I read aloud off the tube and then add my own, “Söling.”
“What?”
“This says it’s söling. I just made up that word. It’s a cross between soothing and cooling.”
“Söling?”
“Yeah, with an umlat.”
“Not cöthing?”
“No that would be sick and wrong!”
