      I know this was from a week ago, but I just saw something relevant.

      There’s a rarely used Ancient Greek word, κακοθερής, which means “unsuitable for summer.” Most modern people view this as saying there’s a word that means you’re “bad at summer.”

      In Modern Greek, the word summer is καλοκαίρι - a compound word that is basically “beautiful weather” used as one word. I couldn’t agree more. So I’ll just go join my fellow olive oil enjoyers in worshiping the magic of the season.
