Have you ever been in a conversation where you have been told a word that you don't know the meaning of?

![keywords-letters-2041816_1280.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTbH6ZFYwnhn65gt5YuT5qEbK6u8est7QG5wpSeeo7Wc2/keywords-letters-2041816_1280.jpg)[source](https://pixabay.com/photos/keywords-letters-scrabble-word-2041816/) Certainly. I think that happen when I had a conversation with one of my male lecturer. He happened to be a professor. It happens during the fest of the conversation with him. He said few words that I couldn't relate with him the meaning at the moment. All I was doing was to keep nodding my head as if I knew what he what saying. It was really a tough moment for me but at the same time, it was a memory that can't easily erased when ever I come across him.

What is that word that you have recently heard that is new to you?

This type of disease really affects old folks. The lecturer was actually asking me a question and I didn't quite get the answer correctly. So he use the word #Dementia on me. I was so infuriated at the moment and afterwards.

What word do you usually say that leaves people hanging without understanding what you are saying?

Terms like; agrarianism, hydroponic, agrarian etc.

Has it ever happened to you that you have heard a new word and it becomes familiar to you, that is, you use it a lot, what is it?

![childrens-shoes-1044137_1280.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmadjNBC243W3noFne8jyGGs1PYCp1uSg9h5fnBMWQvCXF/childrens-shoes-1044137_1280.jpg)[source](https://pixabay.com/photos/childrens-shoes-shoe-footwear-1044137/) I think that happen to us alot. The new word that I become familiar with and I tend to use it on daily basis is the word myopic thinking. I heard this word on radio when the commissioner for information was having a conversation with a journalist on how medical doctors were having myopic thinking on salary increments. (Myopic thinking) It's a word that infuriate people when the use against you.

Tell us about the experience where you are going to say a word and it slips out of your mouth during a conversation, how you feel?

![shackles-4865278_1280.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbMYpBmuMZrbRi31kmqYw76E2eCkaocnMY12LLWzUGYaJ/shackles-4865278_1280.jpg)[source](https://pixabay.com/photos/shackles-captivity-wheat-handcuffs-4865278/) I think that happens a lot, it is common for all of us at some point to forget a particular word or terms when we are talking about something, it is a situation that causes a lot of curiosity, most especially if one is completely blank. At the moment , you feel embarrassed. It happened to me sometimes in church when I was opportune to preach. I was skeptical about the word that skipped my mind. At the moment, I wanted to run or have a super power to freeze back the word. It also happened to me once in a while talking to my friends and it's really awkward, at that moment. Maybe is part of life.

Have you ever heard a word sound a bit heavy and it means something that has nothing to do with what you thought?

![eye-800766_1280.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYMwJQiJ8gR3VEaHeDqN45WUTizjk16Y5FTvfVrqBFUzw/eye-800766_1280.jpg)[[source](https://pixabay.com/photos/eye-blue-pupil-eyelashes-color-800766/) I have an experience of such. Hearing a word that sound a bit heavy, but going back to check on it in my dictionary, I found out it means nothing as compared to what I thought. This was an awkward experience with a dramatical comedian. Saying a heavy word that do not intersect or align with what I thought. I would love the following friends to participate in this contest, @xaske @arinazo8 @eglis
