Reading words over and over until they don't look like words any more
 
Does anyone else get this from time to time? If you just stare at a word and think "how the **** does that spell the thing that's in my head" or something.

I remember being sat in a cafe one time and I read the word "pink" over and over and basically had a bit of a meltdown and worried that I was high.

Pete. 15-11-2015 12:26 PM

Ashley. 15-11-2015 12:26 PM

Drew. 15-11-2015 12:27 PM

Usually get it with names.. Edward is the worst

Drew. 15-11-2015 12:27 PM

How is Edward a word

Josy 15-11-2015 12:29 PM

Yeah I get this too, or if you say a word too much you start thinking 'hold on that's not sounding right'

Shaun 15-11-2015 12:31 PM

(and yes this is about normal words and isn't about tibb slang just to be clear)

Livia 15-11-2015 12:40 PM

Me too.

Jamie89 15-11-2015 12:50 PM

Yeah I get this too, and then you end up googling the word to check it (and then question if google is broken because you're so sure it can't be right lol!)

I get this all the time! The most recent one was the word eight- I ended up having to google the number just so that I could check I was pronouncing it right...

Babayaro. 15-11-2015 01:20 PM

I do this all the time, usually when i'm about to tweet something. I would look at it and go "nah, **** this"

Crimson Dynamo 15-11-2015 01:21 PM

yes but only if i say it too much and then it sounds well weird

Especially with names, it's weird how common names can look weird all of a sudden.

So many jokes, so little time.

'Business' never looks right to me.

Thing about bananas is that you can't put them in a salad
