   Syn: Forgetfulnes, Oblivion.

   Usage: Forgetfulness is Anglo-Saxon, and oblivion is Latin.
          The former commonly has reference to persons, and
          marks a state of mind; the latter commonly has
          reference to things, and indicates a condition into
          which they are sunk. We blame a man for his
          forgetfulness; we speak of some old custom as buried
          in oblivion. But this discrimination is not strictly
          adhered to.
          [1913 Webster]

3. The Devil's Dictionary (1881-1906)
FORGETFULNESS, n.  A gift of God bestowed upon doctors in compensation
for their destitution of conscience.
