Word of the day is ‘arsle’ (19th century): to have a distinct sense of going backwards.

I was asked to write a song for A Play a Pie and a Pint's 20th anniversary. Attempted to tell the story of the Scottish theatrical institution, whilst also namechecking as many plays as I could...and hopefully be funny too....

Now I have a word for it!
Word of the day is a favourite, from old Scots.

To ‘tartle’ is to hesitate while introducing someone because you have completely forgotten their name.
