Ever felt so overwhelmed by cuteness that you just can't contain yourself? There's actually a word for that- GIGIL!
Adopted from the Philippines' Tagalog language, gigil (pronounced ghee-gill) is a recent addition to the Oxford English Dictionary that describes "a feeling so intense that it gives us the irresistible urge to tightly clench our hands, grit our teeth and pinch or squeeze whomever or whatever it is we find so adorable".
We know it's exactly what you're feeling when looking at these adorable faces!
