taste the word

When the word is on the tip of your tongue, when your trying to think of a word and you're so close to finding it you can taste it.

I was like; "You, know the area between the ass and equipment, what the word. I can taste the word, but its just not there."

When a word is on the tip of your tongue, you can't quite remember what it is but it's so close your "tasting the word"

Matt " What is that area between the asshole and the fuckster? chaz, chozster, no thats not it, but I'm definitely tasting the word here"

Jamie " It's Chode ya spaz!"
