Looking it up just kinda feels like cheating, y’know? Or at least throwing in the towel.
“stubborn”
This is it
I was going to say “old age” but, yeah, stubborn is definitely the personality trait. :-)
There’s probably a word for it in German or Swedish. I bet it’s long and hard to pronounce, maybe with a non-English pronunciation symbol.
I’d be surprised if there isn’t a German word for it
I think it’s “tipphoffzetongue”
Google translate says “Zungenspitze” is the German word for “tip of tongue”.
There isn’t one in German.
sometimes it’s something that can’t be looked up like a song tune or a scene from a show. i tried searching once using humming and it didn’t work, but thankfully it only took a couple days for me to remember where it was from
A couple of days…! I get annoyed after a couple of minutes, lol
Generally it is literally called a “tip-of-the-tongue” state in psych literature. Presque vu is the “fancy” french term for it, and means almost seen, similar to deja vu (already seen).
E: as a sidenote, I am fairly sure Vsauce had a video on this.
Something like onamanfuckmeah
Brain fart.
CRS syndrome.
I thought the post title was a joke. Like you couldn’t remember the word you were thinking of to describe when you can’t think of a word.
