A conundrum, but this time, it's you who is making it hard. When something should be easy, yet your own brain turns it into an unnecessary struggle. This term is coined by Rizictionary (2025), a collection of words invented for the modern mind’s daily struggles.

This word could be used in sentences like the following:
“I spent five minutes trying to plug in my charger before realizing I had the wrong cable. Classic penundrum.”
“Tried to open a push door by pulling it for way too long. My brain just blue-screened. Total penundrum.”
“Spent an hour looking for my glasses… while wearing them. This penundrum nearly took me out.”

Toe Rag

A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.

1 “Socks! Those aren’t socks you smelly git, they’re toe rags!”
2 “What have you been cooking? Smells like toe rag!”
3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”
4 That Heale Malcolm is a right toe rag.
