SheerDumbLuck,

Ladle. Big soup scoopy thing. Never remember this word. Terribly specific.

I think I prefer “soupy scoopy” over “ladle” now

LemmyKnowsBest,

I’m better at writing than talking because it takes me so long to think of so many words.

today I paused for 30 seconds trying to remember “second line of defense,”

and paused again for a really long time trying to remember what this thing is called I plug my phone into recharge when I’m traveling, oh yeah it’s called a “power bank.”

The one that means:

When you find unexpected good fortune.

I always remember the word “providence” when I mean the other one, without the religious connotation. Like kismet.

It’s Serendipity btw.

TootSweet,

“Idiomatic” and “Wirth’s Law”/“May’s Law” come to mind.

Of course now I have no problem bringing them to mind.

I am very thesaurus-minded and express myself precisely when possible, so I don’t have any words I just forget, but once in a while I might not be able to find a word that embodies what I’m trying to get across, which is always frustrating as someone whose first language does have an equivalent to the missing word in question.
