What’s that word again that I can’t remember? What am I trying to say here…?
Do you ever have moments like this? You try and try to remember a word, but to no avail?
It happens to the best of us, but it can also be comedy gold, my friends!
Here are some really good ones that’ll make you laugh.
1. My arm calves hurt.
I once was trying to say forearms and came up with "arm calves"

2. I’m looking for an opportunity.
My husband once called the barber to ask for an appointment, forgot the word, and what came out of his mouth was: “I was just wondering if you have any…hair cutting opportunities?”

10. Bailed out at the last minute.
lol. This happened to me the other day at the pharmacy, when I was trying to set up one of my elderly mom's medications for automatic… renewals? Re-ups (watching too much Wire)? Reloads? The pharmacist bailed me out: "You want auto refills on this?"

12. That was long-winded.
I recently tried to come up with the word asterisk and the best I could do was, "the star symbol you put by words to indicate there's more words about it somewhere else."
