I love delicious words. I loll them around and let them loose very carefully - as I love to hear them launch. Sometimes there is ONLY one word that is able to convey the idea.

un·e·quiv·o·cal
(ŭn'ĭ-kwĭv'ə-kəl) Pronunciation Key
adj. Admitting of no doubt or misunderstanding; clear
and unambiguous: an unequivocal success.

While we were living in Germany a word was discovered like this.
It has made its way to the US and is now incorporated into our
language for those very specific times when you intend to say only
what you had intended.

angst 1
(ängkst) Pronunciation Key
n. A feeling of anxiety or apprehension often accompanied
by depression.
