Today my half-asleep interior monologue on the drive to class was discussing the effects of economic globalization on the U.S. and all of a sudden I hit a brick wall when, to describe the status of our manufacturing sector, I attempted to access a word that had simply vanished from my vocabulary for no reason. Yet the meaning was still there - it's what you do when you dump luggage off a boat to lower its weight, empty fuel out of a plane to make it more stable, eject ballast from a submarine, etc.

I thought it'd be a great candidate for this thread, but then two hours later in class the word "jettisoned" just popped up in my mind out of nowhere. The info was there all along, just inaccessible at the time it was actually needed. What a pain in the ass.

I just spent most of the morning trying to remember the word "thesaurus".

Which in itself is probably a signal of the beginning of the end.

I'm looking for a word. It's the medical term for b*tch tits or manboobs.

Judging from what you've just written, Grandpa Troll, I think it's safe to say you have a very, very dirty tongue in your mouth.

...

And no, it's not mine.
