Nosebleed

I'm in the Philippines right now. I only know English, but fortunately most people here do as well. Last night a guy was talking to my brother, but he kept getting stuck for words and our local friends were laughing at him sympathetically. One of them handed him a tissue because out here they call his condition a nosebleed. The joke is that it feels like your brain is hemorrhaging blood trying to keep up with the language. Ha!
