Forgetmeenotagain<\/strong>: \/for-get-mee-not-a-gen<\/em>\/ After my fifth trip to the kitchen and experiencing a forgemeenotagain I decided to start writing all my tasks down as soon as I thought of them – then I forgot. Etymology:<\/em> forget me not + again Created by:<\/em> Jabberwocky.<\/p>\n

Seekeying<\/strong>: \/see kee ying<\/em>\/ Al Zymer did it again…he went into the room but forgot what he went in there for. He forgot what he was seekeying. In future he decided he would right it down or make a code of words to relate to what he needed to get. His favourite movie was “Johnny Mnemonic” starring Keyanu Reeves, but since he got that bad bronchial infection, he thought he was actually “Johnny Pneumonic”. Etymology:<\/em> Seeking (looking for, trying to find or obtain) & Keying (effective; producing a desired effect;a generic term for any device whose possession entitles the holder to a means of access)

Seeknesia<\/strong>: \/s\u00c4\u201ckn\u00c4\u201czh\u00c9\u2122<\/em>\/ Al suffers from seeknesia. Not only does he have trouble finding things, he often forgets what he was looking for in the first place. The results of these slips can sometimes be a bit shocking like the time he went out to shovel his sidewalk and realized that what he had been looking for before seeknesia struck was twofold, his snow shovel and his pants. Etymology:<\/em> seek (attempt to find something) + amnesia (a partial or total loss of memory) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n

Lostenconfound<\/strong>: \/lost-en-con-fownd<\/em>\/ Lostenconfound is the predicament in which Harry found himself more and more frequently. Etymology:<\/em> lost and found + confound Created by:<\/em> porsche.<\/p>\n
