daguerreologue n. an imaginary conversation with an old photo of yourself, in which you might offer them a word of advice—to banish your worries, soak it all in, or shape up before it’s too late—or maybe just ask them if they thought you had done justice to the life they built for you. From daguerreotype, a form of early portrait photography + dialogue. Pronounced “duh-gair-uh-lawg.”
