Seriously, why is it, when I want to use a word that means a very precise thing, I can’t seem to recall it?

I will have it on the tip of my proverbial tongue, but instead I have to ramble through some sort of out of the way method to get to the concept I am trying to describe conveyed to the listener.

Humble. It means something very specific. It describes one who exercises humility.

Could I remember humble in a conversation last night? A six letter word that for some reason should be simple to retrieve from my memory?

No. Obviously.

I had to say like three sentences, tripping over my own train of thought, and the end result was that I was not as clear. I looked like a stuttering idiot.

And looking like an idiot will make anyone… humble!

(Dammit.)
