<p>Have you ever started to introduce someone, only to have a moment of panic as your brain freezes and you can&#8217;t remember that person&#8217;s name?</p>



<p>Thanks to the people of Scotland, you still might not remember that person&#8217;s name, but you at least have a name for the sensation that you feel. Scots have defined the word &#8220;tartle&#8221; as &#8220;that panicky hesitation just before you have to introduce someone whose name you can&#8217;t quite remember.&#8221;</p>
