The word "lethologica" describes the state of not being able to remember the word you want to use.

Witty! Throughout my career as a student I often doodled, drew caricatures of instructors and students, and jotted poems in the margins of my notebooks, as well as daydreamed in order to keep my classes interesting. The free mind never accepts for long the harnesses imposed by others, even if those others are great teachers.
