It is on the tip of my tongue !!!


Mahoney	Do you remember the restaurant we went to Friday.
Marcus	Sure I do. It was the ' Silver Castle '.
Mahoney	No, we've never been to the ' Silver Castle '.
Marcus	Maybe it was the Gold Coin.
Mahoney	No Gee. It is on the tip of my tongue.
Marcus	Never mind. The food was terrible.

Explanation :

If something that you want to say is on the tip of your tongue, you think you know it and that you will be able to remember it very soon.

Example : -

A sarcastic remark was on the tip of her tongue.

When I looked the photos of my classmates on the website Chinaren, Some of their names were on the tip of my tongue but I could not remember.

I have studied French already 10 months. Last month, I wanted to say "我步行去上学" in English with my classmate, but the word"walk' was on the tip of my tongue. I just remembered it in French"marcher'.
