I’ll give an example. For some reason, every time I hear or think of the word nepotism, I think of the Greek god Poseidon. No idea how or why this happens. Have any other examples ?

Yeah I’d imagine its the Neptune Roman connection. I was super into mythology and ancient civilization as a kid.
That seems like a form of
sex dailydyslexia, where the letters get jumbled up in your head. Although Nepotism and Poseidon don’t have all exactly the same letters, they are close to being anagrams to each other.Every time I’m counting to ten, the line from GTA V about ‘exactly ten’ cars being made pops in my head with the silly way he mimics Lamar’s speech.
“Are there only, like, ten of these or something?”
“There ain’t like ten. There’s exactly ten, homie.”
Sometimes the word “Interesting” causes my brain to recall the character generation in Morrowind. The guy says something like ““Interesting. Now before I stamp these papers, make sure this information is correct.””
Oh thats funny. I have a ton of little things like that.
I mean, Poseidon wouldn’t have had his job if his daddy wasn’t a titan.
Damn what a phenomenal response
This post made me think of Richard Dreyfuss. I don’t know why
Yeah, you’re welcome
The Roman equivalent to the Greek Poseidon was Neptune.
I guess it’s not exactly the same, because it sort of is related, but I always get tripped up on “ancillary” because it is a totally inoffensive English word… except that the Latin word ancilla means “slave girl.”
The word “topic” makes me think of pizza toppings cause it sounds similar
Totally reasonable

My sister does this! It’s called Synesthesia !
nepotism, I think of the Greek god Poseidon.
But that is easily explained:
Once upon a time you have played with anagrams. These are not exactly anagrams, but you wished they were. And so you decided to remember it.
Every time I hear nepotism, I see a mini Napoleon Bonaparte in my head… Weird, I know
