No, it is the feeling you have after eating a warm bowl of porridge on a cold winter morning. :p

(it really is just the rosy light of the setting or rising sun seen on high mountains, tbh)

Heh, Bengali has a word for day after tomorrow- poshyodin. Plus, on it's own it can mean the day after tomorrow or the day before yesterday. Very useful word, I must say.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

In Italian there are "dopodomani" (day after tomorrow) and "altroieri" (day before yesterday).

NZ Maori also has those words - Anatahira and Inatahira respectively, we also have Aoake "the morning following" (as opposed to apopo = tomorrow)

I approached replying to this post with a certain trepidation, but on reflection I felt it important to note that the central assertion is mistaken.
