Lethologica

Hmmmm... it's just on the tip of my tongue... but I just can't seem to remember it...

  1. I can't wait to use this word.
    What really annoys me is when I'm trying to think of a word, and my brain keeps offering me the same (wrong) option. As though eventually, I'll get fed up and just use what it came up with instead of continually pestering it to retrieve the correct one.

  2. This one will come in handy... except, I'll probably not be able to remember it.
