This is turning so british and out of the OP

 

Things are worrying for Robbitybob1. Not only he typed a word he didn't know but he didn't remember it. From his info he is 61, that is early for that kind of things. So I was wondering: was there any grandchildren or nephew at home? Was that a joke? Or does anyone want to drive him crazy?

I think I was just extremely tired. It is not that often that I forget what I write on the science forums.

Is there a phenomenon that's the opposite of deja vu? The feeling that you've never done what you just did?

Jamais vu.

 

 

In psychology, jamais vu (/ˈʒɑːmeɪ ˈvuː/; from French, meaning "never seen") is the phenomenon of experiencing a situation that one recognizes in some fashion, but that nonetheless seems very unfamiliar.

Interesting and that lead to the link on presque vu or TOT. "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tip_of_the_tongue

 

The tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon (TOT), sometimes called presque vu (French pronunciation: [pʁɛsk vy]) "almost seen", is the failure to retrieve a word from memory, combined with partial recall and the feeling that retrieval is imminent.[1] The phenomenon's name comes from the saying, "It's on the tip of my tongue." The tip of the tongue phenomenon reveals that lexical access occurs in stages.

I get a often especially when I'm anxious. That is worse than jamais vu, I'd say.

[Cough], British gets a capital letter in English.

I think it was meant to be brutish not British!

I could swear you've told me this before.

This is like deja vu all over again.

In that situation, I think it's best to forget about it for a bit. I think of our knowledge base like one big bookshelf and it takes your 'little librarian' a while to find what you want!

That works too but usually I get the problem when I'm the center of attention and I need the word straight away. It can be really embarrassing.

I just laugh it off and say "I've forgotten, Alzheimer's must be setting in." We are not perfect automatons anyway so don't get hung about it. Rather than fruitlessly pursue that elusive word in mid-speech grab the first alternative that comes to mind.

I'll try that next time.

It's a paraphrase of a quote by Yogi Berra

 

 

• "It's déjà vu all over again". Berra explained that this quote originated when he witnessed Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris repeatedly hit back-to-back home runs in the Yankees' seasons in the early 1960s.^[4]

That's greek to me.

That guy had the weirdest sense of humour ever.

 

Here's a bender :

 

"Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't go to yours."

I'm guessing the influence was Groucho Marx.

 

Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.

Or, "I've forgotten, thingy must be setting in. You know that whatsit where you, um, lose your thingy. You know. It's on the, um, of my errr... "
