Something similar happened to me when I brought my pregnant neighbor to the doctor for an ultrasound. I'd had a ton of human biology courses and knew lots of anatomy. So the tech was moving the wand over her belly and I said " Oh! Look! I can see a femur! " Tech almost dropped the wand. " Yes, that's just what that is! " It was pretty funny.

Yes, that happens to me all the time, either with words or names. Weird, hmm? D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a technical term for that experience, but I can't remember what it is. Same deal as where a person buys a certain model of car and then starts seeing them all over town.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 That happens a lot. I find myself thinking " Well, I never knew about that before, but I'll bet I start hearing/seeing it all the time now " and that usually happens. Since I LIVE on Red Bull, for better or worse, I've looked into the ingredients to see if I can obtain them without spending $2 a can. (I usually have at least one a day and I can't afford it). B6, B12, caffeine (which a Red Bull rep once told me was " pharmaceutical caffeine " and different from the caf in coffee), and taurine, and gluco-something or other. The diet version has phenyls, which apparently I can't process well. My husband bought me a 4-pack of diet last night so I am Red Bull- less today.
