I have the opposite problem. All the adjectives/synonyms come to mind at once, stammering while I have to sift through all that noise in real-time. It makes me feel like my mother tongue is a foreign language sometimes.
Protip: if this is you, just pause mid-sentence and look thoughtful while you pull it together. It’ll make you look even smarter.
Reminds me of when Obama was giving speeches, he had his signature start stop style. It was because he was thinking before he spoke. Conservatives at the time claimed he sounded stupid because he didn’t just word vomit his thinking immediately.
Which is rich considering that a lot of southern conservative politicians model their speaking style on pastors and ministers, complete with reverb to sound like they’re in the pulpit. It’s a signature style. Where the speaker. Has a habit. Of talking. Slowly. And, deliberately. To sound like. They have. Moral authority.

It’s always projection with these clowns.
