There’s probably a word for it in German or Swedish. I bet it’s long and hard to pronounce, maybe with a non-English pronunciation symbol.
Google translate says “Zungenspitze” is the German word for “tip of tongue”.
sometimes it’s something that can’t be looked up like a song tune or a scene from a show. i tried searching once using humming and it didn’t work, but thankfully it only took a couple days for me to remember where it was from

I was going to say “old age” but, yeah, stubborn is definitely the personality trait. :-)
Brain fart.
Something like onamanfuckmeah
Generally it is literally called a “tip-of-the-tongue” state in psych literature. Presque vu is the “fancy” french term for it, and means almost seen, similar to deja vu (already seen).
E: as a sidenote, I am fairly sure Vsauce had a video on this.
