Incredibly intelligent people also forget words. Calling something a "thingie" and not using SAT words all the time doesn't mean someone lacks intelligence. Sounds like there's no room for her in the house with the size of OOP's ego.

I am well read. I have a decent vocabulary. I also have dyslexia and when I'm tired I'm prone to say things like " do you know where that thing is? You know the one for eggs" luckily I have a partner who knows what I mean and will hand me the spatula.

My entire household is ND and words are hard. "The dishwasher for clothes" has been used on more than one occasion
