Word of the Week: Prosopagnosia
This week's word also deals with a strange disorder of the human mind.
Prosopagnosia (noun)
An inability to recognize human faces; face-blindness
"The president's diplomatic effort flopped after he mistakenly referred to the German Prime Minister as an al-Qaeda operative, featured recently on the news, due to his mild case of prosopagnosia."
AHH! Kibbie, you have no idea how exciting this is. The show 3 lbs. featured this disorder in it's last episode!
What a coincidence! I happened upon the word in an article in The New York Times Magazine Sunday morning and thought it esoteric enough to feature.
