I can’t stop saying ‘Homo Heidelbergensis’

Does anyone else get random words or phrases stuck in their heads??

Awesome’ It is so embarrassing and won’t stay in my head but keeps popping out instead of ‘thank you’

Gosh, me too!!
I also sometimes say ‘cheeky’ as in a ‘cheeky’ glass of wine... and I HATE it!

Someone posted on here about a glockenspiel yesterday and I keep saying out loud.

Have been off sick for extreme morning sickness and DH thinks I’ve lost the plot completely now.

Succulent-can’t get it out of my head.

Hyperemesis gravidaram.

Ever since I first heard the word, several times per day for most of the past 2 years. Always “said” slowly like I’m churning through the syllables

Today it’s Benedict Cumberbatch overly enunciated. Don’t know why.

Mellifluous!! Me too!
Love that word, that’s why I listen to
Radio 4 so I can broaden my vocabulary!

I'm so glad it's not just me that gets a random word floating around in my head all day!

Galatasaray - I think it's a football team? I've had the word in my head, on and off, for about 15 years!

Oh yes, there are place names too! For me it’s Jalalabad and Ouagadougou. Both very pleasing.
