You know when something's on the tip of your tongue and — as frustrating as it is — you'd prefer to try and think of it rather than look it up? There should be a word for that. (lemmy.world)

Looking it up just kinda feels like cheating, y'know? Or at least throwing in the towel.

There's probably a word for it in German or Swedish. I bet it's long and hard to pronounce, maybe with a non-English pronunciation symbol.

Google translate says "Zungenspitze" is the German word for "tip of tongue".
