\"Why<\/p>\n

VERBOTICISMS:<\/strong> (Invented words created by the Verbotomy Writers)<\/em><\/p>\n

Roomnesia<\/strong>: \/room neez ya<\/em>\/ It was happening more and more often. Fran would enter a room and forget why she went there. She was not demented or going gaga, but everyday she would have an episode of roomnesia. She’d make a point of going into a room to do or get something and then totally forget why she went there. One night when she had some colleagues from work over, she went into the bathroom on the main floor. When she arrived, her reason for going there was pressing large on her mind. “It began with a Pee”, she remembered and it was her #1 reason for going, but still she forgot. Was this the start of problems for her??? Depends… Etymology:<\/em> Room (chamber;an area within a building enclosed by walls and floor and ceiling) & Amnesia (partial or total loss of memory) Created by:<\/em> Nosila.<\/p>\n

“_#1_ reason for _going_” – Ha!! That was a good one!<\/p>\n

Hallsheimers<\/strong>: \/h\u00c3\u00b4lsh\u00c4\u00abm\u00c9\u2122rz<\/em>\/ Alvin has a bad case of hallsheimers, wandering from room to room trying to remember why he left what he was doing in the first place. Often ha has to return to the room of origin to get back on track. Sometimes he forgets where he started and what he was doing. At these times he goes to the kitchen and makes himself a chicken salad sandwich. He is having a lot of sandwiches lately. Etymology:<\/em> Halls (a corridor) + Alzheimer’s (progressive mental deterioration that can occur in middle or old age, due to generalized degeneration of the brain) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n

Finally, a word for my ailment.<\/p>\n

Nosila<\/a><\/strong>, 2010-05-28: 09:16:00<\/em>
If I remember correctly, that was a good word!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Enterhunce<\/strong>: \/en-ter-huh ns<\/em>\/ Every time I went back into my room I had a feeling of enterhunce. It wasn’t until I’d locked myself out that I realized I’d forgotten my keys. Etymology:<\/em> From “entrance” and “huh” trying to give that “what was going on just now” sound to match the feeling itself. Created by:<\/em> catgrin.<\/p>\n

Dejaoublier<\/strong>: \/“DA-sha-u-blee-AY”<\/em>\/ Ingrid stood in the middle of the kitchen. She had come to this room … for what? She had just come from the bedroom … was it a snack, a drink — medication — she needed? To let the dogs out? Yes, yes, that was it. After that short period of dejaoublie, Ingrid felt scared and old. Etymology:<\/em> From the French language:
\n“Deja”=”Already, ” “Oblie”=”Forgotten” Created by:<\/em> lplybon.<\/p>\n
