Pronunciation: de-NEH-mon. Similar to denouement, with which it shares some aspects of connotation as well.

Sentence: He opened his mouth to begin the presentation, and his mind went blank; if he hadn't had his notecards ready, it would have been a total demnemonstration.

Etymology: The word has roots in 'demon', such as might be responsible for the phenomenon, and 'mnemonic', which in this experience is conspicuous in its absence. The prefix 'de-' and the root 'mnem' also combined to play a certain role here.

Sentence: Joan has given up any thoughts of thinking. She has resigned the real world, where you have to remember stuff, to join the e-world, where your IQ can be measured in gigabytes. Her **smart phone** is brighter than she is. If she has a thought, she better get it down in her notes app or it will succumb to evapidoration. A friend asks if she wants to meet at a particular restaurant. Before you can blink, she is reading the menu and texting a reservation. Just don*t ask her to share her thoughts. She doesn*t have time for those anymore.

Etymology: evaporation (cease to exist) + vapid (offering nothing that is stimulating or challenging - made of vapors)

Sentence: It happened again. Brianna had another irritrievability session. Her train of thought had become derailed again. It was like being an amnesiac in a soap opera. She could not remember anything from a second ago, nevermind longer. It all started when she began dating her co-star, Drew A. Blanc. He seemed to have no memory at all. Probably a good thing in Hollywood, but a bad thing for her...had they had their first kiss, gotten married, had a child? Who knew??? All that Brianna did know was that she would have to get back on the Ginko-Biloba again soon, or her career might be over! Whoulda thought????

Etymology: Irretrievable (impossible to recover or recoup or overcome) & Irritate (annoy;disturb, especially by minor irritations) & Ability (possession of the qualities (especially mental qualities) required to do something or get something done).
