The phrase “brain dump” is one I use a lot. For example, right now I’m just brain dumping words to see where they lead to write this article for a very loose topic I’ve wanted to write about.

Astrophage. Astrofayj? Astrofagey? /ˈæstɹəˌfeɪdʒ/? I think it’s pronounced Astrofayj, which rolls right off the tongue. I tried to ask Andy Weir directly through his AMA but only got an answer from the community. However it’s pronounced, it’s just amazing he came up with the word and idea in general.
