Sometimes I want to use words like defenestration in regular speech, but often it is like amnesia for the rest of my sentence, or people don't know what it means and then once they do they're like "yooo there's a word for that?". Do you think it will always be this way or will it eventually just become a word people can use without making people forget the rest of the sentence?
it's not gonna be a word people use. it's a word people talk about. that's the reason the amnesia occurs: the subject just changed, to talking about that word. it's as if someone took the previous subject and threw it out the window or something
