Word Fugitive
I love Barbara Wallraff's excellent back column in The Atlantic Monthly- Arvin Reyes of Quezon City, Philippines, queues like the rest of us:
"I always think the line next to me is moving faster. What is the word to descibe my thinking? - Alison Johnson of Glendale, CA, looks for a term that describes the "momentary confusion [correct usage!] experienced by everyone in the vicinity when a cell phone rings and no one is sure if it his or not".
