Misremember


If you google Roger Clemens’ new favorite word “misremember”–go ahead, do it–the #11 link to come up is none other than Trainjotting’s Word of the Week. Ahead of Trainjotting are media heavyweights that include MSN, Fox Sports, Slate, the Onion and Dictionary.com.

Pretty cool, huh?

MISREMEMBER: /MISS remm EMM bur/ verb: To have an incomplete recollection of events from years past, whether it’s a hazy late-night ride home on Metro-North, or a discussion of your use of human growth hormone with your best friend.

Usage: I thought I’d been to Rye train station years back, but when I went there last week, I realized I’d misremembered ever being there.
