Or do I have a head injury?

[resonant]

You know, the longer I spend in post-menopausal word loss --

"if you don't live in a country with an active -- aw, hell, I've lost the word -- not royalty, not monarchy, not oligarchy, the thing where some people have better blood than other people --"

"Aristocracy?"

"Thank you!"

-- the more familiar it looks to me when Ray Kowalski says "the Northwest Areas" or starts the Miranda statement and then loses his place and trails off.

But it happens to the spouse, too, so some of it may be just simple age and not menopause at all.

Randomly, in Korean there are two words for menopause: one specifically for woman (or people in female bodies?) and one that's gender neutral.

Interesting. Is Korean more gendered, like Spanish? Or is it just that specific word, like in English "top" and "blouse" imply feminine while "shirt" is neutral?

Korean is rarely gendered. I think it's more like blouse and shirt. My dictionary also translates one of them as climacterium, which is a word I haven't come across before that should maybe get wider use. ;-)
