Our word of the day today is: LETHOLOGICA.  Lethologica is a psychological phenomenon characterized by the inability to retrieve a particular word or piece of information from memory, even though you know it exists and is "on the tip of your tongue."  It's a momentary lapse in memory retrieval that can be frustrating but usually resolves itself with time or with the right cues.
