Now I wonder what "Somantic Satiation" would mean.

You feel a part of your body so much it no longer feels like part of your body?

Mostly people say that because it gives them an opportunity to think of something to say. Politicians use these kinds of things a LOT, so they can think of something clever sounding (or what they think is clever sounding) to respond to journalists.

"You know my team and I have been spending a lot of time talking about that very issue, Bob" (I'm barely familiar with whatever you just said and my assistant is going to give me the talking points about this on the bus so I'll have a better answer for this question when I get asked it 5 more times today.)

"I'm glad you brought that up, because I think that's a question that a lot of people here in (town/state) have, and I'm glad that finally my party has an answer for them." (Proceeds to give that "answer" in the broadest terms possible, like "we're bringing jobs back to (area)!" or "that's why that once we're elected, we're going to make these streets safe again!")

Those called upon to lead prayer in church will say, "O precious Lord, holy blessed God, I just want to thank you, really thank you, and in your holy, blessed name, we ask" for the same reason: it's a signal flare for inspiration

Coincidentally, doesn’t take long with a word like ‘satiation.’

I wonder is this that satiation you speak of: The Story of Valmiki “For his whole life, the thief had only said harsh and unkind words. So, try as he might, he could not utter the word “Rama”. But Narada was too kind to leave him. So he tried another method. He slowly said the word “Mara”, which means ‘death’. This time the robber was very happy to say the word! He really liked it! He began saying it, over and over again. “Mara, Mara, Mara, Mara. And he started repeating the syllables in quick succession. . . “Mara, Mara, Ma-Ra, Ma-Ra, Ma, Ra, Ma, Ra, Ma, Ra-Ma, Ra-Ma, Rama, Rama.

Without realising it, the robber was repeating the holy name of Lord Rama. He was captivated by the charm of the sacred name and he went on repeating the name, forgetful of where he was. He sat like that for ages, without moving and without opening his eyes. Years passed away. Seeing him sitting like an immovable stone, ants, worms and insects crawled fearlessly near him. They built their homes and nests on his body. The anthills grew and grew until they covered him completely. This long penance washed away all the robber’s sins”

Weirdly enough, for me it works as advertised for words in my native language (Italian, if it matters), but it doesn't seem to work at all in English (or at least, if it works it does so slowly enough that I got bored with repeating random words to myself before it happened).

I'm just musing around; but perhaps it might be related to me having learnt English words (and the association between their sound and their meaning) much later in my life and in a more formal, less "unconscious" way?

I'd be curious to see if other bilingual people notice the same, or if that's just me being weird.

I've done this with words I find hard to really picture. I do this with a handful of words. In my brain, the word definitely loses all meaning and I'm like, this, what is this?

Does this also count for reading words? I find that if I focus too much on one word and its letters I stop being able to process it correctly after some time?

That's a great question, thank you for asking. Let me tell you something. I know all about underwear. I have the best underwear. People tell me all the time. I'm currently wearing 3 of the best underwears in the world. Right now. They're amazing. Tremendous.

Interesting... I had assumed this was the same thing.

Jamais vu (“never seen”) is the experience of being unfamiliar with a person or situation that is actually very familiar.

E.G. When you write a word down and it looks odd like the spelling of it makes no sense

I usually pull up a full sentence with that word in it somewhere. And sometimes other words/letters I need to see. Being able to look at other words and glance back to the main one here and there is a good palate cleanser.
