TOT

I had not heard about TOT, till I chanced upon it while reading up on “Freudian slip.” There is even a story by Anton Chekov on TOT.

“What is TOT?,” you ask….hmm… let me remember… something to do with a Hotentot, or was it something to do with a tiny tot, or perhaps … give me a minute to recollect… something like… why do I always have that temporary amnesia at the exact moment I need the word or its explanation and I know that I know it?

Ah well ! That’s what it is.
