You Must Remember This
It’s very embarrassing to forget the name of a person you’ve only just met, or worse still the name of someone you’ve known for years. Science reporter Graeme Quirk came up with an idea to save face in such a situation. Just apologise and explain that you are suffering from lethologica. Lethologica is the technical term for “temporary inability to remember a word, a name, or an intended action”. The only catch is you have to be able to remember the word lethologica.
