Pronunciation: I-pif-foe-nee

Sentence: Charlotte hated these epiphonies. It seemed, increasingly, the minute she passed from one room to another, especially through a doorway, rather than remembering why she had gone there in first place, it would suddenly hit her that she couldn't even remember! Well, at least, she told herself, she could remember that. Usually retracing her steps helped, although it was embarrassing when it involved entering and reentering the front door of her apartment.

Etymology: A play on words, taken from "epiphany," meaning an intuitive leap of understanding especially through ordinary circumstances + "phoney," meaning false.

Pronunciation: damnēzhə

Sentence: Charlie would often have bouts of damnesia where he would get up from what he was doing to get something and then forget what he meant to get. This occurrence would inevitably elicit his favorite expletive, "Damn!". Most of the time returning to the starting point would refresh the thought but not always. Those were the moments that worried him the most.

Etymology: Damn (exclamation expressing anger, surprise, or frustration) + amnesia (a partial or total loss of memory)

Pronunciation: leth-AM-byuh-late

Sentence: Yesterday worn out by the aging-process, irresolution and a few too many drops of Irish whiskey, I choose sleep rather than my daily dose of Verbotomy. However, in the middle of the night something - some strange verbotomy voodoo, perhaps, hellbent on wrecking my sleep caused me to open my eyes and sit up, wide awake and listen intently. I thought i could hear a voice, saying "verbotomy, verbotomy, verbotomy!" Soon after I found myself sitting in front of my computer, confused, dumbstruck and disorientated. Not knowing what I had planned to do there, I lethambulated back to bed. Next morning upon telling Roxie of my strange experience, she said, "I think you misheard, it was probably your own mind telling you that you need a lobotomy!"

Etymology: Conflation of LETH:forget, forgetfulness & AMBULATE:to walk.
