Hasselblad? Ambergris? One learns all the time! And you forget "Tabasco"? What's the false positive your mind turns to instead? Sriracha? :) Mine would have (in addition to the Dunning-Kruger effect, the name of which I keep forgetting): Bildungsroman + Festschrift Der Ring des Nibelungen + Götterdämmerung + Seigfried Ouroboros Onomatopoeia + Asafoetida (spellings of both) Peter Principle + Parkinson's Law Réné Margritte + George Lemaître + Mercator George Cantor + Gottlob Frege + David Hilbert + Peano. Also, Neils Abel. Actually, I forget words and phrases so often that I'd need to carry around a dict+thesaurus instead of a short wordlist. :) But it's a useful idea. I'll add this word list to my scrap.txt file.
