Those stupid names you come up with when you've forgotten the real word.
A wild beef is a cow!

A wildbeef can be used to describe anything - the only real requirement is that it's a genuine attempt to describe something where the actual word has been momentarily forgotten. Deliberately silly descriptions of animals belong on /r/properanimalnames, please check them out if you enjoy reading posts on this sub!
POSTING GUIDELINES
Please post the 'wild beef' part of your post as the title, with the actual name in the post body.
OC is heavily encouraged - and please don't post stuff you've found elsewhere without checking the top posts first! As funny as it is, the Liquid Zoo has been posted a hundred million times already.
Wildbeefs are not malapropisms, misspellings, or typos. Those are better suited to /r/boneappletea or /r/boneappletypo. If your post would fit on those subs or any other language mix-up ones (like /r/engrish) then it probably doesn't belong here. The same goes for /r/puns - if it looks like a deliberate joke, it's not a wildbeef.

That one time I forgot what a screw was called and there was a small screw on the floor of my classroom, and my, obviously very dumb and sleep-deprived, brain decided that asking to "pick up the spiraly nail from the floor" during writing time was a very good idea :'D
i was too cold and i said i didn’t wanna go downstairs while i was upstairs, so i corrected myself by saying “super downstairs”

Spatula. I was looking for the spatula...
To explain briefly, me and a few friends were drinking discussing the 3 things needed for a good time (sex) we settled for the 3 Ls: Liquor, Lube, and Libito. Someone mentioned the secret 4th being limits, and my brain decides Limitation crab is the thing it wanted to say. "Limitation Crab" ffs. Thus the birth of the mascot of the 3Ls of good times was born. "Limitation Crab: He may be limited in size, but not in imagination"
Died of old age

My mom and I were arguing about whether eating eggs classified as carnivorous and she brought up that it classifies as a ovivore.
