Dude, Lauren's freaking out, she has to be at work in 10 minutes or she's going to lose her job. Apparently someone stole her car last night, the police just found it wrecked in a ditch about 50 miles away from her house the windshield blown out, the stereo gone and they're fairly sure the driver side axle is busted. It was still in gear when they got there and it smells like they burnt the clutch out and the engine sounds like it may have knocked a rod.
When you're in a conversation and can't think of a word for something and struggle to find the right word or words, and your brain keeps coming up with the wrong words, just roll with it!

To another family member - "Hey, we're almost out of.. toothpick-earwigs... because, apparently Q-tips don't exist according to my brain."
Family member - "Nice Lexical-Redirect, I was scared for a moment that we had earwigs on toothpicks somewhere in our house."
