I always had the urge to name things. A great tactic when playing chess

I have a problem remember names , when I talk to someone I tends to say that thing ,that thing and people got so annoy by me saying that thing, that at the end of the conversations they agree with me just to shut me up.

I do the same thing dakotayii. Sometimes it really bothers me. Other times I don't really care.
