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".

I know what you mean. We had some difficulty remembering names in our conversation. Neither one of us could remember the names of well known people in the news. I wonder why she didn't ask her smart phone, did she forget that she could do that?
