An English word that for some damn reason sounds incorrect to our brain, is not listed as a word, gets spellchecked, but yet is perfectly correct grammar-wise.

Why it's not an officially recognized word (while its plural form is) is beyond me.

For example, in the sentence "the Church themself stated that...", the Church is a single entity and therefore can be used in its singular form.
Guy 1: You know what's even more stupid than Elon's tweets?

Guy 1: The fact that themself is not officially recognized as a word.
Guy 2: Frfr bro

endwarfins

The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.
I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.

Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.
