I’m talking about those things that you normally know but may forget momentarily. It’s like your brain draws a blank or can’t access the info. What causes that when it happens?

I’m from the Deep South. “Hey sweet freee-and!” (*shudder) works well. But, I die a little inside every time I say it. Eventually someone says their name.

DYSNOMIA (related to dyslexia)-
Because of my problems reading and remembering names, I spent most of my 61 years thinking I was stupid (though told the opposite). About 15 years ago a VERY smart lawyer friend of mine divulged his condition of Dysnomia (has a bunch of other names I can’t remember). It is genetic, related to dyslexia (thank you Dad) and often presents itself with proper nouns. Despite hearing “I’m terrible with names too” for years, very few people have ever heard of it. Now, when faced with an embarrassing loss of name or word, I use it as a teaching moment. It gets me off the hook and has led me to many interesting conversations :-).
