Are you an ITWP?
Now for a confession: I’m an insert-the-word person or ITWP. Yes, guilty! You’ve all met me. I’m the person who, when you pause in your conversation seeking the right word, jumps in and supplies it. Yes, I’m right up there with the usurper! I hereby state, reader, that I’m aware of it and working on it because it is unpleasant conversational trait. Although in my own defense, I am becoming less and less of an ITWP because my own "word" memory is becoming so bad, I too often can't find the right word. Also, I'm starting to actually like ITWPs as their word insertion help often facilitates the conversation since charades (my alternative when I seek a word) takes so long.
