Brain fart...

[DreamThrall]

I'm trying to think of this word that means "eventually", except that whatever the verb it is describing is imperatively going to happen. For example:

When the customer _______ forgets to log in.

In this case, it is general knowledge that the customer is at some point going to forget to log in... and I can't think of the damn word. Halp!

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

inevitable / inevitably

 

[DreamThrall]

YES. Thank you. Wow, I can't believe I couldn't think of that.

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

Not a problem, I have those word forgetting moments constantly.

 

[CyberPitz]

I always forget crap like that. It drives me absolutely mad until I figure out what it was.

 

[Pulse]

^ that or potentially

 

[DreamThrall]

No, I was definitely thinking of "inevitable" ... I was looking for something more imperative.

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

^ that or potentially

Potential doesn't imply that said action will definitely happen, just that it could. For instance I have the potential to become a commercial jet liner pilot - but in all likelihood I never will.

 

[dfc05]

Haha, this happens to me a lot.

Once I couldn't think of the word "international" and had to ask my sister for help. I think I described it as "that word that means... between nations." She probably thought I was an idiot.

 

[Dekstar]

Recently I forgot the term pathetic fallacy. I kept thinking of the term phallic image.

pissed me right off.

 

[noQ]

As I speak different languages in different environments, this is quite usual for me.

 

[Druckles]

Oh God. This is awful, I get it constantly. And it's too often. I stop in the middle of sentences and can't even remember a bloody word!

Once, I forgot the word "this"...

...

 

[Seppo]

have you guys seen the lindsay lohan nude pics? she finally agreed to a nude photo shoot.

 

[Qonfused]

I hate not being about to think of a word.

 

[Beerdude26]

Once I forgot "person" in my mother tongue. Lol

I have that sometimes with English, usually French though

 

[Sulkdodds]

I rarely forget what word to use but sometimes I slip too easily into using the same kind of words and wordsets over and over again. It begins to boringerise my expression.

Ironically, like ten thousand spoons, I just forgot the proper word for 'boringerise'.

Its actors and character names for me. I spent two whole days trying to remember the name of the character that simon pegg plays in spaced. (Its time, to save anyone else's torment). I damn near went insane.

Ten thousand spoons when all you needed was a knife?

 

[MJ12]

YES. Thank you. Wow, I can't believe I couldn't think of that.

use dictionary.com, it helps with all sorts of word references.

 

[TimoJay]

Once I was trying to say "homeless person", but instead I said "penis".

 

[Druckles]

No, but a link would be awesome.

What the hell does that have to do with the topic at hand?

People are producing damn methane from their minds!

 

[DreamThrall]

Yeah, I looked there and thesaurus.com and it wasn't listed.

Did your spell checker not work here either? Indeed, the spell checker has made you weak. I recommend using it less often.

 

[Seppo]

if you use spell checker, your body and spirit are weak

 

[DreamThrall]

That was on purpose. Do not ask why.

 

[Druckles]

I have surfed on the internet for a whole hour looking for a word D:

 

[Dadi]

I'm from sweden and when I talk to friends I often forget a word in swedish and just say it in english instead in the middle of a dialogue.

I've heard Chinese people do that

And it works both ways, if they're talking in English to me, they'll suddenly say a word in Chinese and I'm all like wtf?
