Today's #aphasia #paraphasia offering is "round potatoes" meaning bagels. Best I can figure, my brain was stuck on the circular shape of the bagel, and bagels and potatoes are both beige starchy foods that go in the toaster oven.
It's always interesting to see what linguistic connections there are in my brain. I don't get to pick the words when I'm having a paraphasia episode, so it's pure innate categorical substitution. Kind of neat.
