hello dearest cannabis lovers
i'm stumped (probably because of a certain plant i smoked not too long ago) and am having trouble remembering a word.
it means to look over, check, or review.
its used when a student asks a question that the teacher doesnt know the answer to. the teacher will say "i'm not sure, im going to have to ________ my books to find the answer to that one".
ive been sitting here for nearly half an hour trying to remember the word and my head is hurtinggggg. help would be greatly appreciated. gracias :hippy:

no... its like you think you know the answer to something but you're not entirely sure to be able to answer a question so you have to recheck your books to make sure you're right

Recapitulate? Corroborate (a dreadful word but fits your definition)? Peruse is the most accurate so far.

Are you thinking of the word "consult"?

"Consult" or "reference" are your two closest synonyms for the context you cited, I suspect. "Refer to," "review" or "revisit" are others that might work which my fellow members have already suggested. "Penis" was certainly a fun option!

Doesn't that drive you nuts not to be able to nail a word like that? There's a common flowering plant that I can never recall when I need to say the word. It grows all over Texas and the southern United States in the summertime. I can see the plant in my head now, and I could point to an actual example of it on my neighbor's porch if I needed to, but until someone else comes home who's not aphasic on that particular word, it will not come to me. I have hope, however, that if I needed to recall that word this very afternoon before my husband or son got home, I could rely on PSteve to give me all the best options there were, practically before I knew I needed them.

I hate when I cant think of a word. It makes me feel like not being able to express myself using that word invalidates everything else I've said
