Is there a term for that unbearable vibration that comes from rubbing styrofoam together? (lemmy.world)

It's the vibration that's made from styrofoam rubbing or biting on undercooked green beans. It can also come from walking on fresh snow. The vibration can almost be incapacitating like if a baby were crying in your spine.

Or grinding wool between your front teeth; every example so far has made me grimace.

I don't know but in all seriousness I'd suspect there is a German word for it.

Removing the cotton ball from the medicine jar.

I'm luckily immune to that feeling. My partner can't be in the same room as I do it. I'm also the designated "remover of objects from styrofoam packaging" person.

I couldn't find any to describe that specifically, but I remembered a word for the feeling when you're trying to brush your hair and some stick to the brush so they're getting pulled along, not necessarily ripped out though. "Ziepen"
