1TO10REVIEWS » words http://www.1to10reviews.com We rate stuff on a scale of 1 to 10. That's not too complicated, is it?

Malaise – a general feeling of weakness in the body?  Downer.

Ennui – weakness or discontent due to boredom?  Get over it.  Start a blog.  Buy an Xbox 360.

Je ne sais quoi – a certain… “I don’t know what?”   Shut up.  Figure it out.  Figure out what you’re trying to say, and then say that thing.  Gosh.

And just to put the icing on the cake, here’s a cartoon that is depressing.  But it also made me laugh out loud (I have a sick and twisted sense of humor.  (Oh, and this one us even more effed up.))))

So if you have this persistent feeling of ennui, a malaise of the spirit (if you will), and you feel like your life is lacking, that there’s something missing, a certain feeling of je ne sais quoi… get over it.

If I were forced to give depressing French words that have wormed their way into the English vernacular a numeric rating between one and ten, I would give them a 2.
