I learn’t a new word today.. a German word to be precise…Torschlusspanik! I looked it up it means… ‘the fear of diminishing opportunities as one grows older’…..‘gate shut panic’….‘the feeling that medieval peasants had when the castle gates were closing for an upcoming onslaught by enemies.’ …..‘the fear that time is running out’…‘Midlife-crisis-induced Torschlusspanik has driven quite a few middle-aged men into the arms of young women, wrecking countless marriages.’ …huh no chance there then, i’m past the middle!
‘Torschlusspanik is a bad advisor’…mmn probably true!
