“Don’t tell me! It’s on the tip of my tongue!” That feeling of being unable to locate the word you have in mind can be extremely frustrating. You know exactly what you’re looking for, but for some reason, your mind is hitting a wall. And trying to describe what you’re searching for can make the experience even more excruciating. The suggestions a search engine provides are nowhere near accurate, and your friends may be of little help when trying to complete your sentence.
Sometimes, what you really need is to enlist the help of kind strangers online. And thankfully, there are communities out there like Tip of My Tongue and What’s The Word on Reddit that are eager to assist you. Below, you’ll find some of the funniest posts from these communities, pandas. And we suggest trying to guess the word before reading the answer; it makes for a pretty fun game!

#26 Please Help! 90s Cartoon I Had On Vhs As A Child. It Has Been Driving Me Crazy For Years And Years!
Immediate_Tooth_6267:
So, my brother and I had a cartoon on VHS which I don’t remember ever seeing on the television, so may have been rare I’m not sure. I was born in 1991, my brother in 1986 and we both remember random parts from the plot which I will describe below:
At the beginning, there is a child character (not human) swinging on a swing outside and singing “I’m the king of the castle, you’re the dirty rascal”.
Then there is a character who is walking through the village (ogre like and breathing heavily as he walked), and I remember different villagers hands shown slamming their windows shut up on his arrival. Their houses and the animation in general was quite similar to The Smurfs houses.
I think the baddie kidnapped one of the characters and took her down a well where he kept her hostage. I remember he had a goldfish bowl on his head here, as she had cried so much and flooded the well. I also remember him swimming up out of the tear-flooded well with a suitcase in his hand.
Honestly you would be saving around 20 years of torment- please help!
Thank you!

#28 That Concept In Psychology When You Don't Do Something That You Were Really Going To Do Because People Keep Telling You To Do It
SirHovaOfBrooklyn:
There was this psychological concept that I remember reading on when I took my undergrad studies that says that some people end up not doing something that they were really going to do because other people keep telling them to do it and they end up losing autonomy over the act. They end up feeling that they're being told to do something instead of them actually having the initiative to do that thing.

#29 Wife Hates Reddit! Prove Her Wrong, By Helping Her Figure Out What Movie She Cant Remember!
estoeckeler:
My wife, who has a pretty poor memory, is trying to find/remember the name of an old black and white movie. Maybe from the 50s or 60s. It had an older lady(50 or 60 y/o) that lives in a house with two kids . At the end of the movie some guy was k**led by "street children" or the movie implies they k**led him and maybe ate him? She describes it as a spooky movie, but not a horror movie. They may hav lived near the ocean...

#30 An Old-Fashioned Word To Describe A Vapid Young Girl Who Concerns Herself Silly Things
me_be_ki:
I know it’s an informal term, probably three syllables, it would be in a Jane Austen novel or something like that. This word describes a young girl who is probably kind of flighty and doesn’t really concern herself with anything of real substance. Please help me out!

It's a story about two people who are pretty close, and one of them has down syndrome or something. At the end, one of them says something like "think of the rabbits, b*tch" and then sh**ts him in the back of the head. I remember that it was a mercy k**ling because some bad people were after them, or something?
Kinda wanna go back to it and read an analysis of it because surely he didn't have to sh**t him, right?
