It's on the tip of my tongue...

[alexandraaah]

There's a word that I can't remember, it's definition is (loosely) when two things happen that would seem to be related but are not. Ex: I went to the dentist the other day, he barely checked my teeth, barely cleaned them, then the next day I had a horrible toothace in an area of my mouth he didn't even touch.

Please share with me the word if you know it. Especially if you can get past my pitiful example.

You know what else? I just realized that CELEBATE is merely 'CELEBRATE' without the 'R.' Huh, I think that's odd.

Ahhhhh I went shpping today and went into a music shop. I knew what I was looking for but when the guy asked me what I was after do you think I could remember the name of the band

Never mind I got there and now have two new Guns & Roses Cd's. Hell I only went in for one

 

[Wiggles]

Ironic? That's the only one that comes to mind right now.

That's probably not it, since it's a commonly used word.

Don't you hate that? When you can't think of something, that you usually could, and it's right there, but you just don't get it?

I do that All the time. Very frustrating.

For your toothache I give the word retrospective, but the above leaves me quizzed!

No, I am actually perplexed and vexed!

not ironic...but thanks for the try...it's more specific than that. it's when events that appear to be related are not, i know i'm not coming up with good examples and i know it's a real word...please, someone, help!!!

?

coincidence

Re: ?

nope...but hey, thanks for tryin'....it's not a very colloquial term for any other takers out there.

Synchronicity, perhaps?

I shall mull further on your first word, but I fear I should mention it's celibate, not celebate, so your celebrations will have to be put on hold whilst you go fucking.

Thank you! My spelling has certainly gone to shit; honest it used to be great....hmmm, I knew those two words just had to be farther away from each other in the dictionary.

And I'll just combine the two and celebrate while I'm fucking.

Stolen from thesaurus.com, and none of them are right, I'm sure:

irrelation, dissociation; misrelation; inapplicability; inconnection; multifariousness; disconnection; inconsequence, independence; incommensurability; irreconcilableness; heterogeneity; unconformity; irrelevancy, impertinence, nihil ad rem; intrusion; non- pertinence.

Or, and just pasting from a bit further down, and it's none of these, and it's dull, but I've started now, irrelative, irrespective, unrelated; arbitrary; independent, unallied; unconnected, disconnected; adrift, isolated, insular; extraneous, strange, alien, foreign, outlandish, exotic.

I have a fondness for a propos de bottes.


Ah, fuck it. Have words. None are right. Fuck it, go bowling.

There's a thick, pink nipple on the tip of my tongue

But maybe that's just happenstance.


I think it's spelled "celibate"

But maybe any similarity is just happenstance

Re: There's a thick, pink nipple on the tip of my tongue

...oops, that would be mine, sorry.

Synchronicity is close, but I don't think that's what you want. It's two things happening at the same time that are not necessarily related, but more of a coincidence.

What I want is your AV on the tip of my tongue

If you're thinking of Serendipity, it's not the right word for a tootache following a visit to the dentist.

ROTFLMAO! How true is that? ~pounding table, tears streaming in mirth~http://www.soccercrew.com/forum/Smilies/58.gif

Definitely *not* thinking serendipity; I know better.
Grrrrr...this is really starting to bug me.
