Words, they Bounce

It must be some evolutionarily beneficial curiosity that won’t let me forget words like “succubus”. I don’t care what it means. I don’t care what it is. I’ve been trying to forget it for years and no I never cared to look it up. But now might be the time to give in. Maybe my brain will stop keeping it around if it knows what it means and thus can determine more fully whether it’s something I need to remember or not. Right now the fate of that word is in limbo. It lies in a black box and its future cannot be decided. The worst thing is this isn’t the only word bouncing around in my brain in this fashion.
