Whats that word?

What is the word for when you cant remember the word for something?

Hope you can help!

Do you know what - I can't remember - ha ha!

Actually lethologica is the temporary inability to remember a word.

I hope you don't suffer from it!

Found it here

I frequently have lethologica, but I probably won't remember that word, so you'll have to remind me of it.

Contractions:

• what's = what is
  can't = can not
  it's = it is
  I'm = I am
  we're = we are
  they're = they are

Are you talking about lapse, slip (of the memory/mind) ? it's when you cannot remember a word for something you call that a lapse, right?

I like Crisa's explanation!

In my case, I call a memory lapse a 'senior moment' or 'brain freeze'!
