Comment on You know when something's on the tip of your tongue and — as frustrating as it is — you'd rather try and think of it rather than look it up? There should be a word for that.

Generally it is literally called a “tip-of-the-tongue” state in psych literature. Presque vu is the “fancy” french word for it, and means almost seen, similar to deja vu (already seen).
