So, does it happen to you? Well, the poll is supposed to be about how you deal with it, so that is it.

I have seen friends go crazy over it all the day, I personally wouldn't go that far, but then I usually find it after a while. If it's too vague and I can't even put it into words, well, I let it go.

As soon as this happens to me I have to get everyone I'm with involved until we can figure it out. I get over it eventually, but it bugs me for quite awhile.

It is also annoying that as soon as I don't care anymore I remember the work I was looking for. 🤨

I ask those I'm talking to if not I ponder it for half an hour or so until I give up. It always comes to me a few days later 🤣

I can spend hours trying to find out what I wanted to say. I'm just that kind of person 🤣

Sadly enough, I usually only remember what I wanted to say after I stop thinking about it!

I try to find it for a couple minutes, but give up if I don't seem to be any closer. It usually justs rolls around in the back of my mind for awhile and then, hours later, it'll come to me. 😃 I like the self-satisfaction I get from realizing it, but, by then, none of the people I was talking to earlier really care anymore. 😔

I usually never stop until I figure it out or I get my friends to help me out

I try to remember what I was talking about before.. and then attempt to piece things together. Then if recalling the information doesn't work, I just give up. Because these epiphanies usually come when I'm not thinking too hard about it. Like looking for a lost item. XD

Try for a while & then leave it alone...and a day or so later it'll suddenly pop into my head. 🤣

I try for a while and then give up, figuring it isn't that important to use that specific word if there are alternatives.

I try to figure it out but if I can't in a couple of minutes then I leave it alone. I'll usually remember what it was later.

Round it up.

Though this situation doesn't really happen to me.
I can always find a substitute for the word.
There's barely any things which don't have some
other name.
