I love words. I spell words in my mind when they are spoken, like a ticker tape across my forehead. I sometimes misspell them just to amuse myself.
Many times per day, I will think of a funny or unusual or offbeat word or phrase; like flotsam and jetsam, or denouement, or haphazard, or sturm und drang... Then, I will see or hear it within the same day.
Today I thought of the phrase "carpe diem." I saw it twice and heard it once. In one day.
I read the word cockadoodledoo and was very amused by it. Within an hour I read about people laughing over a rooster crowing.
This morning I had three words come to mind that I enjoyed contemplating; "Exhausted," "Revenge," and "Umami."
While having a one-hour conversation with someone this afternoon about random subjects of his choosing, he said all three words.
Once, a long time ago, a word came to mind while I was laying my head on Brad's chest. Unfortunately I don't remember the word, but it was sufficiently weird that one would not expect to hear it. It had no context to the conversation or relevance to anything I could think of, other than the word sounded fun and amusing in my mind.
Brad immediately said the word out loud.
It was so shocking I shot up and asked him what he just said and why. He said it again and said he didn't know why he said it.
