Pronunciation: room neez ya

Sentence: It was happening more and more often. Fran would enter a room and forget why she went there. She was not demented or going gaga, but everyday she would have an episode of roomnesia. She'd make a point of going into a room to do or get something and then totally forget why she went there. One night when she had some colleagues from work over, she went into the bathroom on the main floor. When she arrived, her reason for going there was pressing large on her mind. "It began with a Pee", she remembered and it was her #1 reason for going, but still she forgot. Was this the start of problems for her??? Depends...

Etymology: Room (chamber;an area within a building enclosed by walls and floor and ceiling) & Amnesia (partial or total loss of memory)

Pronunciation: ree-krawl-spayse

Sentence: Amber was suffering severe recrawlspace when she went up to the attic to fetch her grandfather's trunk. She went up there, and spotted the trunk because it was the only thing in the entire attic. Then, the recrawlspace started to sink in, and she thought to herself, "What did I come up here to get?" As she put the ladder away, she remembered and felt extremely stupid.
