What's the word again?
I'm reminded of a fun conversation by a friend with lots of words about dead things.
A friend sends me the screenshot of an old Facebook post.
SCENE: She and I are at a coffee shop in Japan talking about our students who are chronic sleepers. But we can’t remember the English word for it.
Her: I can’t remember it!
Me: Me either.
Her: You know I keep thinking of necrophilia.
Me: Me too!
Her: Then next I thought of necromancer.
Me: That was my exact second thought!
Her: God what is it?!
Me: We’ll think of it…
Her: Necra….
Me: Nnnnnnn….
Her: AHHHHH!
Me: Narcophiliac?
Her: Hmmmmm????
Me: Narco…. something?!
Her: Narcolepsy!!
Then we celebrated!
