What to Say When You Forget Something Print

Back in the day, when someone would forget something, they'd say they had a "brain fart."  More recently, it seems I'm hearing people in the same situation claim they are having a "senior moment."

These days I think it's best to say "brain fart," because poopy humor is always better than self-deprecation.
