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

[-] aelwero@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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.
