Aphasia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aphasia, noun: The inability to remember and or speak words or phrases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example: My aphasia kept me from remembering the word derangement when trying to say “Trump Derangement Disorder.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photo is of a barrel cactus in fruit. This particular one was far enough down into the city that the Javelina hadn’t gotten to it… yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: Aphasia is a serious medical condition related to brain damage. Using it for the kind of forgetfulness that afflicts the elderly is a self depreciating attempt at humor. I bleed and bruise easily and call it Adult Onset Hemophilia it is a joke and is not intended to offend hemophiliacs. Same goes for aphasia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to John A for this excellent words. I hope I can remember to use it when appropriate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
