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.

I'm a little stoned and I have razor bumps from shaving so I'm trying to get them to go away before my date and I read that you could use (what I thought) was hydrogen peroxide to make the irritation go down. I was telling my husband about this and I couldn't remember the words "hydrogen peroxide." Oh and it's actually benzoyl peroxide that's supposed to help lol.

What my brain came up with for Fridge after working an 8 hour shift
I was asking if you could have "glimp" as a word in Scrabble. While looking at my tiles (which had spelled out figimpl) my partner said "no because"glimpse" isn't plural. My reply? Tried to say "Yes, but could you have singular glimp?" Instead asked if you could have a "Fingular Gimp"
i couldn't think of the word for bunting.
Mom forgot the word podcast
I was hanging out with a friend the other day getting drunk in his barn and playing with guns,as one does. He held up his empty glass to me to pour him some more vodka. I picked up the bottle and presented it like a waiter showing off wine in a fancy restaurant. "ah yes more stupidity elixer,commrade?"
I was talking about a fucking boat by the way.
