PARAPHASIAS! Maybe we could have Neuro Impairment Bingo. 🤔 paraphasias are times when a person who has neurological impairments, including me so no fucking brain damage jokes, uses a similar or related word instead of the word they mean to use. Somebody in a support group meeting I was in said “we don’t want to put all our grapes in one basket“. Trumps paraphasia is he said “vicious“ when he meant to say "violent“.

He’s not a neurologist! Otherwise your point is very good. He’s a fucking neurosurgeon. A plumber. Nobody in medicine thinks a neurosurgeon can even fucking read. That is slightly hyperbolic. Also neurologists and neurosurgeons have nothing to do with brain chemistry.
