The Look of Finter
The other day I was watching a Youtuber's Fall Haul video, when I heard her mention the term "finter". Apparently, finter describes the end of October to the end of December. There are so many big holidays that go on during that time like Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
So, obviously finter is just forming one word out of fall and winter. Even though I have never heard of this term before, it has become stuck in my vocabulary. I think finter is the perfect definition for the weather we get here in Pennsylvania. It's technically fall until December 21st, but we still get cold weather and snow beforehand.
Not only that, but right after Thanksgiving marks the kickoff for winter and Christmas. Since we can't technically say it's winter, even with signs of winter all around us, we still have to call it fall until December 21st. But now, we have this wonderful term that we can use to describe this time without being wrong.
Will finter become its own season? I highly doubt it, but I think I'll still use it as a descriptive term from now until the first day of winter. How many of you have heard of finter before?
