That thing that you can't recall...

[Rían]

This is funny! Count me in! I haven't seen 'dealie' yet - does anyone else use that? "what's that dealie over there?" And yes, I use "clicker" for remote control. And walking into rooms and forgetting why - argh! And losing track of your point in the middle of a sentence! I think parts of my brain are going to heaven ahead of the rest of me!

I saw a funny t-shirt once that went something like this: "over the hill? what hill? I don't remember any hill!"

Non-english-first-language-people: "over the hill" means very old (you probably knew this, but ...) What are some Flemish or other non-English expressions for this? I love to hear expressions from other languages! Or for being forgetful? I've always liked "the lights are on, but no one's home!"
