Ever notice when you can almost remember something and it goes along the lines of this [usually when you're all hammered in a pub being wayyyy too loud]:
"yeah! that huge boy band that wanna be really gangster and stuff but fail miserably... oh gods, whatstherename... erm... *a few minutes go by of people trying to think of it... suddenly someone'll blurt out:*
THATS IT! begins with a G!... *goes blank a moment, clicks fingers about frantically*... blazing squad!"

Reminds me of the time when I had to go up to my Dad and ask:
'What do you call those big light things on poles they have on streets?'
'Streetlights'
'Oh, yeah, ta'

I got screamed at once when a driver nearly knocked me over. I was so enraged that he had turned the corner without signalling.
Driver: What the F*** are you doing in the road!
Me: Crossing it you Ass, what do you think I'm doing??!!!
Driver: Geez you F***ing pedestrians *$£4%£"$£$ me oFF!
Me: Well maybe if you had...... you had..... you had...... used those bloody orange flashy lights on the side of your car, I would have known you were turning into this road you jackass!!!!
It didn't have quite the same impact without me remembering they were called indicators.
Feed me Chocolate!!! Feed me NOW!

*unlike the rest of these, a 'gitchie' can be a living creature. "What's that gitchie with the really long neck and the spots? Giraffe, that's it."
**also sometimes used as a deliberate euphemism, as in The Music Man: "If I slipped/And I busted my whatchamacallit/I could lie on the floor unnoticed/'Til my body had turned to carr-/rion."
