DĂžgnvill is when you're confused as to what time of day it is, like being jet-lagged without travelling.

@darklamer @osloengelen English has a term that's sort of the opposite of that, "Irish twin." Means a kid born less than a year after their previous sibling. Comes from the time when Irish-American immigrants were known for having lots of kids.

I rather like the Spanish word "deshabituarse", which basically just means to lose a habit.
