Let's say you're trying to remember the guy who starred in the Beverly Hillbillies. Something you always knew and it's on the tip of your tongue but your having a brain performance anxiety attack. You can say "OK google who starred in the Beverly Hillbillies?"

I use to hang out with younger teachers at work. They would always fill in the blanks for me, like my kids do, out of kindness. They thought it was funny that I called this "in conversation support".
