A new word for English: earworm

Icon 1 Comments
I am inserting the word "earworm," from German vernacular, into the English language.

What is an "earworm"?

Jason's Internal Dictionary said:

earworm: (noun) a song one cannot expunge from one's mind; a tune that plays repeatedly in one's head

Examples: "'Billie Jean' is an earworm."

Go forth and spread this wonderous new word, so Merriam-Webster's must recognize it in a few years. :)

I get mentally tortured by earworm all the time. I cannot expunge the catchy annoying songs out of my head. ;)

Personality Type

You are a Judge!(Dominant Introverted Concrete Thinker)Posted Image You are a JUDGE (DICT). Your affinity for facts and analytical approach to life help you solve complex problems and make tough decisions that others cannot. But don't think that you don't act irrationally a lot of the time. You jump into arguments and hold grudges like crazy. You could probably use some love. While some may see you as a bit overbearing and arrogant, your friends know that you are a trustworthy person with depth and a strong sense of righteousness. Although you are introverted and somewhat reserved, you have a forceful personality that your friends appreciate and your enemies fear. God help them. God help all of us.(From the Spark Personality Test.)
