I often have this problem but can perfectly remember a word in a different language that fits. Sometimes it sounds like I'm trying to be pretentious dropping foreign words while I'm just bad at brain.

Hey, sometimes other languages have a more exact word for the concept you're trying to convey. I completely get it.

That said, the precision is sometimes lost on the audience.

Came here to say. I can often remember the Spanish word when I forget the English word.
