Kat, you definitely have well-known extenuating circs. Pregnancy is weird. One friend felt infinitely sharper (despite being on bedrest- her boss was blown away by some of the things she came up with from her hospital bed) and another (with a textbook boring preg) would stop mid sentence and screetch because she'd lost a word. I know it is all hormones, but it is freaky. I feel significantly stupider (not to mention crankier) when I'm oding on them.
WHOSE PLAN WAS THAT. Is dumb.
no. I've been losing words for years, actually. It got much worse recently a few months ago, then seems to have gotten a bit better.
But the words are still MIA sometimes.
I have to confess, I lose words all the time. Online, I can fake it. Talking to the parents? I handwave over the phone. Makes me feel smrt.
This is why I call people Monkey and Noodle, names just escape a great deal of the time. Also why I actually say stuff like, "the thing with the thing and the thing", on a regular basis.

I do too. I usually find them again, but sometimes not.
She does! Well, not a lot, but I've heard it.
Me, I just stutter and hem and um.

This is me. Complete with saying "You know. The thing. That goes with the whatsit. That, er, the person mentioned."
I've been known to refer to the TV remote as "The thing that things the thing."
that. That. THAT. THAT!!!!
gesturing emphatically.
Anyone else use the term "ferwonked"? I did at work and was mocked.
forgot to announce here that mac is reading.
