*thud* (for, like, the bazillionth time in the last two weeks)

I invented a new word yesterday evening as I was driving the huz and myself to dinner with friends: thinkiness.

Thinkiness is pretty much identical to what I would roughly term 'brainpower' - the ability to think, reason, keep samples straight and ordered, efficiently multitask, and generally pay attention and make decisions.

Thinkiness is something that comes in a set quantity on a daily basis.  It's what one calls brainpower... when one no longer has the brainpower to remember the proper word for the thing, i.e. when you've run out of it.

I have run out of thinkiness at least twice in the last two days, and am definitely out of it at the moment.  Happy new word, everyone.

Glad you like it! I rather thought it was useful, which is why I posted it.
