Pronunciation: diss-MEM-burr-eee

Sentence: Queen Jane tried to remind herself not to forget to remember something important as she entered the throne room. Just behind her forehead, urgent thoughts rattled around like mexican jumping beans about to hatch.The words "oral hygiene" were on the tip of her tongue, but that wasn't it. It might have something to do with the supersubmicroscopic spider crawling up the tiles, but she just couldn't put her finger on it. Perhaps her medication was causing this DISMEMBORY. Her thoughts drifted through her mind like dust motes in the fluid of her sight. WHAT exactly was she supposed to remember? The 39 Steps ? Queen Jane couldn't even recall where she had mislaid that potato chip. The odd thing was, she could recall the numbers to her combination lock in high school, but not what she did in the kitchen five minutes ago...Perhaps if she re-traced her steps, it would come rushing back to her like a hot kiss at the end of a wet fist. What was it? The McGuffen? Who knows?

Etymology: DISMEMBer+memORY=DISMEMBORY..... DISMEMBER:to break up or tear into pieces, especially brain cells,to cut off or disjoin the limbs, members, or parts of one's profound thoughts; Middle English dismembren, from Anglo-French desmembrer, from des- dis- + membre member.....MEMORY:a particular act of recall or recollection, the power or process of reproducing or recalling what has been learned and sometimes forgotten, especially through associative mechanisms, the store of things learned and retained from an organism's activity or experience as evidenced by modification of structure or behavior or by recall and recognition; Middle English memorie, from Anglo-French memoire, memorie, from Latin memoria, from memor mindful; akin to Old English gemimor well-known, Greek mermēra care, Sanskrit smarati "she remembers".

Immediately upon saying this word, couldn't help but think 'dismembered' memory! Captures the fright in losing the mind! - silveryaspen, 2009-01-13: 12:04:00

in answer to your question - very far - Jabberwocky, 2009-01-13: 12:07:00

Memories, all alone in the moonlight is nostalgic, but it sounds like a comedy when you sing Dismembories, all alone on a long flight from Winnipeg to Montreal... - Nosila, 2009-01-13: 19:46:00

Pronunciation: room a tizm

Sentence: It happened to Eva again. She walked with purpose into a room and forget at once why she entered. Oh no, she thought, I'm becoming my Mother! When she met her Mom, the conversation always started with an organ recital...the Toelio in her Big Toe, the Kneemonia on her patella, the sacrifices her sacroiliac had made giving birth to Eva. Yes, when her Mom left, Pelvis had left the building. But her Mom always forgot where she put things (Leftomania), told her the same stories nine times (Repetitive Notions) and forgot why she went into the next room, she claimed it was Roomatism. Great, thought Eva, pretty soon I will be able to join my Mom at the Raisin Ranch, Restspinster Abbey, Rio de NoHairo, Battlestar Geriatrica, Bewildered Acres...I'll become Eva Destruction! Oh, yeah, now she remembered, why she entered the bathroom. But the reason, well, Depends...

Etymology: Room (a chamber; an area within a building enclosed by walls and floor and ceiling;the people who are present in a room) & Rheumatism (any painful disorder of the joints or muscles or connective tissues (like the brain) & Ism ( a belief (or system of beliefs) accepted as authoritative by some group or school)
