I often come up with "It's the thing with the thing, I've forgotten the word, the thing" <insert flailing hand gestures> "with the bouncy." And my sister will say "Yeah, I know what you mean, I've forgotten the word, too." And later we'll both remember it was a basketball.

quite a lot actually....
I did it the other day... walked into S's office to give him his reports...all I could get out of my mouth was "..........................ya"
what I was meant to have said :" I have finished your reports, where do you want me to put them"
he understood
and said to put them on the floor next to desk........
I am evil, I should change my middle name legally TO evil, I'm proud of my evilness!

Yup, except it was at a restaurant and the guy was trying to ask for a rubber spatula.Quoth ArcticChicken View PostI often come up with "It's the thing with the thing, I've forgotten the word, the thing" <insert flailing hand gestures> "with the bouncy."

He turned to me and was like "Hey, pass the...uh.... flappy thingy." Only time I've ever heard a grown man use the phrase "flappy thingy".
However, I have a tendency to lose a sentence half-way through and just spout off gibberish. i.e. "I need to go to tha... garharbagammhmma.... yeah, ok, I can speak".
I've also done the "communicate only in grunts" thing with friends. My sister was amazed once when my buddies called to hang out, and my entire half of the conversation was just "hey, mmhmm, hmm, hmhmm, see ya".
What I actually said was "Hey. yeah. really? Ok. See ya."
She didn't understand how someone could communicate a complete thought without ever opening they're mouth.<Insert clever signature here>
