Gaingiving (gane-GIV-ing)
noun
Definition: (now rare) A misgiving; an internal feeling or prognostication of evil. It’s that nagging sense of unease you get, like when you’re about to try something new and your gut is all, “Uh-oh, this might not end well!” A humorous way to describe those inner warning bells that signal potential disasters.
Usage:
“Before she agreed to go to the party, she had a serious gaingiving about running into her ex and their new flame. Her gut was basically like, ‘Nope, don’t do it!’”
