I have, twice that I can remember.

  • Nukamajig - microwave. I still use it from time to time because it’s too stupid not to.
  • Miscombobulate - mixup and confuse. Just now, between the time it was and when the appartment building’s laundry room was closed for the night.

    Similar thing happens to me with certain subjects I mostly only ever discuss online in English or hear talked about on English-language podcasts.

    Then when I try talking about them in my native language, I often realize I don’t have the vocabulary for it. Depending on who I’m talking to, I’ll either just drop the English term in there or have to pause and hunt for the closest equivalent in my own language - which isn’t always easy.
