It's migraine season again.
It only lasts for 12 months out of the year.
I was trying to ask my partner for a pbj sandwich. I accidentally asked for a beef sandwich, then tried to describe the sandwich as boneless and without the meat.
I eventually reached apricot marmalade, which was close enough for my partner to understand the request.
What the hell are you talking about
They're talking about random adverse cognitive effects of migraine...
I once completely lost the term "lasagna" during a particularly bad migraine, and the eventual linguistic workaround was to describe it as "noodle cake". It's definitely a thing that migraine can and does to to me once in a while :) much more common to lose a concept than it is to just lose a word though.
I call it my brain getting deep fried. I tend more towards losing words. One time I did spend five minutes wondering what Stede Bonnets first name was... by asking my friend "What is Stede's first name?" (It's Stede. Which I said in the moment.)
I asked my partner for a mouth pitchfork because I couldn't remember the word fork. How that works I have no idea. Also plug in cooler instead of fridge.
