I'm bad at knowing people's names when they're in Halloween costumes. I'll probably go around all night trying to figure out which ones are Case and Mac Tire.

Ablation. For some reason, whenever I NEED to use that word (talking to doctors, whatever), it never comes out. Which is frustrating. Because explaining the procedure takes ten TIMES as long as just using the stupid word.

I just can't think of the flipping word. It's so frustrating. I mean, every day conversation (well... not that I talk about it every day, but you know what I mean), it's not an issue. I go to an ER and they ask when my last period was and I say "June" and they look at me funny and I go to explain... POOF. Word's gone.

How about the word for using a noun as a verb? There is a technical word for it, and I found it in a dictionary en route to looking up something else, never used it, and have now completely forgotten it.

Oh wait, I've just read more closely--a gerund is using a verb as a noun (ending in -ing.) Using a noun as a verb is "verbing," according to Calvin and Hobbes.
