We call them bubblers over here.

The name of the meat pies served by Mrs Whatsit -Sweeny Todd's partner in crime -the ones really made from Humans.... I'm thinking "Albanian Lamb" but that doesn't come up as a hit for that when I google it....

Anyone? Bueller?

not on the tip of my tongue, but bugging the hell out of me sometimes

I thought they were just called Mrs. Lovett's meat pies?:confused:

The worst pies in London...?

Sticky note on monitor.

That's where I keep anecdotal and orthogonal. They're quite useful words but I seem to have a hole in my brain where those words should go.

Last night...

"Pedometer" was the word. "Peter Meter" is what came out. :headshake

Well, they do say there is a relationship. foot size etc.

OMG. I kept forgetting that there was a word I was forgetting....Utter fail.

i think if you have a particular word that always eludes you, maybe it indicates a trauma or damage to the locale on the brain where that is stored. also, i visualize brain pathways like rivulets, so when you repeatedly go down the wrong track looking for a word, you are reinforcing that error each time. For a few years when i was a kid, i would think yellow, but say red. there is still an association in there, but ive gotten around it.

ORANGE! Bwuahahaaa! :)

Orange you glad I didn't say banana?

how about the opposite of this effect. where you have a word stuck in your head that you keep chanting internally?

husquevarna

Well NOW I do. Or would if I could pronounce it.

That deserves it's own thread.
