Words stuck in your head

[shadowstriker86]

So for some reason all day today this word "tachyon" has been stuck in my head, repeating itself. Why? I looked up the word thinking it was just curiosity, nothing. I tried using the word, nothing. So why is it still stuck? Anyone else ever get this?

 

[Pingieking]

Yes. Often. I've got one right now. Mainge.
Spell check doesn't even recognize that word. Apparently it means some kind of rotting in furs. Heard it while listening to some author speak and someone asked him what his favorite word of the English language is.

Emperor Percival Tachyon, supreme ruler of the Cragmites!

And now the word Tachyon is stuck in my head too, thanks.

Well, recently, I've had "Lord Minoru!" stuck in my head... really wanted to say it so much...
But apart from that, yes, I tend to get words/phrases stuck in my head all the time.

It would be "Mao Cow", which is an unlockable cow in the titular game Cow Clicker.

Mao Cow.

Flabbergasted has been stuck in my head for a long time.

Same thing with slapdash.

 

[Betancore]

I've got the words 'creeping death' stuck in my head. Stupid awesome Metallica album.

 

[Ben Jamin]

Salamander.

Because I drew this mad one a few days ago and its stuck..

Currently, I'll suddenly get "Julie" in my head, for no apparent reason.

The words stuck in my head today are from an old 'Lost in Space' episode
when the Robot goes haywire and repeats--

Kill, Crush, Destroy.
Kill, Crush, Destroy.
Kill, Crush, Destroy.

And ?Danke Schoen? by Wayne Newton
because a TV show made a referrence and it stuck.

2+2 = What I really want to do is
Kill, Crush, Destroy the dork on TV that shoved that stupid song to my head.

Try spelling it without the 'I' and see what happens.

OT: Not usually individual words, but usually sections of songs.

 

[Mordreich]

"the ol' Shoot'n'loot" and "the ol' Flank'n'shank".

(It's from a Green Day song)

 

[Sneaky llama]

"uume keki" thanks to my friends and google translator (it's penis cake in swahili)

 

[LongAndShort]

It would be "Mao Cow", which is an unlockable cow in the titular game Cow Clicker.

Mao Cow.

That cow name is almost awesome enough to make me want to start on facebook and get it.

Cornucopia. It was the favourite word of a friend of mine from school and whenever I think or hear it, it gets stuck for a few hours until it is replaced by something else.

 

[HillDragon]

Nothing stuck at the moment but I often get things like:

DucheBucket
Haberdash
Mukluk, Macadamia(sp?), Spatula.
And PsudoPsychosis(sp?).

They usualy stick until I get to use them in a strong sentence or as a loud boisterous verbal comment.

 

[-Drifter-]

Plug and chug.

I hated my Physics 12 teacher for a number of reasons, ranging from her irritating voice to her general incompetence, but her constant use of the phrase "Plug and Chug" was probably the thing about her I despised most.
