I think I'll strike a word from my vocabulary: "unforgettable." Just because of the way it's typically used, outside of the Nat King Cole song. Someone will mention an "unforgettable" moment in, say, a film, and half the time I'll have forgotten it. I'm flaky, but usually not with regard to entertainment, which seems to be the realm in which people most often use the term. It feels almost as shameful as failing at a "foolproof" method, like I'm setting a new worldwide low. And then I won't even see how it was supposed to be so memorable.

Of course, there's irony in trying to forget "unforgettable." Maybe I should strike it only from my functional vocabulary, not my recognition vocabulary. But did I ever use it except when quoting someone else?
