Funnily enough my fabric softener is transparent and my dishwasher detergent is fully opaque.
I do this constantly, and also just had a bowl of ice cream while lying in bed…
I buy myself time by saying “what’s the word for…” and by the time I’ve said that, or perhaps because I primed my brain for it, I immediately remember, and finish by asking what the word for the word I’m thinking of is, which ends up confusing more people than if I hadn’t tried to remember the word at all.
