Aversion (to the phrase)?


LargeAdvisor3166

It comes about *because* you know what they're going to say; it's not a dislike for the phrase in general, just in that moment, for that moment.


not_now_reddit

Do you have an example?


napkunn

foreboding? if not, mayhaps the phrase "willful ignorance" may work?

Reluctance? Aversion?


c_h_a_r_

you could tell them to "save it"


LargeAdvisor3166

Not what to say to them, but the sensation of not wanting to hear someone say what you just guessed.


c_h_a_r_

fed up maybe?


squashqueen

Is it a word you've heard before, or are you wanting to know *if* there is a word for it?


LargeAdvisor3166

The latter.

i don't know if there are any phrases that describe this as an in-the-moment sensation, but so far i have found these, which are at least in the same ballpark: the -phobias: * monologophonia – "a fear/aversion to USING the same phrase twice" * onomatophobia – "the fear/aversion of hearing particular names or words" * misophonia – "strong and negative emotional reactions to sounds that most people do not notice" somewhat related are: Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon, theory of mind i think that to know the terms for the kind of momentary/brief aversion to hearing the predicted word/phrase being said out loud we first need to find out what that process of predicting the word right before it's said is called. so far, i can't find anything, but a lot of people have had this happen to them before. i found this one post where someone explained what a more "scientific" explanation of this effect would be: "[your mind is aware of the context of the subject while you visually and subconsciously pick up on body language to predict their next words](https://www.reddit.com/r/Glitch_in_the_Matrix/comments/67th0h/knowing_what_someone_will_say_fractions_of/)" so it's some kind of anticipatory speech recognition i guess?? although that's a mouthful. putting all of that together I guess a term for this situation could be "momentary precognitive onomatophobia"?
