I’ll give an example. For some reason, every time I hear or think of the word nepotism, I think of the Greek god Poseidon. No idea how or why this happens. Have any other examples ?
I mean, Poseidon wouldn’t have had his job if his daddy wasn’t a titan.
Damn what a phenomenal response
Maybe Neptune is the missing step between nepotism and Poseidon for you?
This unexplained association between words has happened to me too; I just can’t remember anything at the moment. I’ll edit my comment when I do.
Yeah I’d imagine its the Neptune Roman connection. I was super into mythology and ancient civilization as a kid.
The word “topic” makes me think of pizza toppings cause it sounds similar
Totally reasonable
That seems like a form of
sex dailydyslexia, where the letters get jumbled up in your head. Although Nepotism and Poseidon don’t have all exactly the same letters, they are kinda close to being anagrams of each other.The Roman equivalent to the Greek Poseidon was Neptune.
Every time I hear nepotism, I see a mini Napoleon Bonaparte in my head… Weird, I know
This post made me think of Richard Dreyfuss. I don’t know why
Yeah, you’re welcome
This is kinda tangential but I do a similar thing with sounds! When I listen to music for example I often associate the sounds I hear with different colors, shapes and other visuals in my mind for some reason, oftentimes very vividly. I’m unsure if this is something everyone does.
My sister does this! It’s called Synesthesia !
Every time I’m counting to ten, the line from GTA V about ‘exactly ten’ cars being made pops in my head with the silly way he mimics Lamar’s speech.
“Aren’t there only, like, ten of these or something?”
“There ain’t like ten. There’s exactly ten, homie.”
Oh thats funny. I have a ton of little things like that.
