@SJ I get that at times myself. Not exactly as you describe. It can be a word but often it's a proper name. That's really annoying. Like in the middle of relating some childhood experience at a Red Sox game, I forget the name Ted Williams... type of thing. Of course you remember the name 10 minutes after nobody cares. :)
I used to be quite skilled at that thing where you study the definitions of words. Dang!! :)

Oh forget names...I quit even trying that years ago. I've actually taught myself a speech pattern that avoids the use of anything even resembling a proper name when talking to people. I just got tired of running into people I've know for like 20 years and getting trapped by the :wallbash: Dude...WTF's your name? thing ... When I damn well should know it off the top of my head.
tomos:
^ names, I know that one....
Re tourettes: I saw a good comic the other day (NSFW I guess - just profanity)
