| Nov 18, 2014 at 3:31 | comment | added | ermanen | Mr. Rusty Tuba, nothing personal. I would just not recommend and use these words for unforgettable negative events. It really depends on the question too, some questions allow uncommon words as an answer because it fits. Some people may not agree with me also. You started getting more upvotes after our discussion, maybe our discussion was a good sign :) | |

We know the general meaning of BigBoys search word, but not whether he's explaining something to a few chums at the local or writing a piece of literary fiction in which he's unafraid to challenge his reader. I was going for precision; words like " haunting" and "indelible" may be somewhat more familiar, but they are not as precise. To be honest, I'm a bit surprised by your comment because I've appreciated many of your word choice answers exactly because they are so precise and unafraid of obscurity! | |

| Nov 18, 2014 at 2:44 | comment | added | Rusty Tuba | The question didn't stipulate commonness as a key criterion | |
| Nov 18, 2014 at 2:43 | comment | added | ermanen | These are not common words that would go with memories. Inextirpable memories? Inexpungible memories? I don't think anyone would use them. Inerasable, somewhat, can be used but still very uncommon to say "inerasable memories" | |
