Isaac came home from school telling me he had an earworm. He got it from his music teacher. Can anyone guess what he was talking about? (I'd never heard of this before.)
"Earworm, a literal translation of the German Ohrwurm, is a term for a song stuck in one's head, particularly an annoying one. Use of the English translation was introduced by James Kellaris, an associate professor of marketing at the University of Cincinnati. His studies appeared to demonstrate that different people have varying susceptibilities to earworms, but that almost everybody has been afflicted at some time or another."

ReplyDeleteI googled it.
Cheater! It is right however. I thought it was pretty funny.
