Word lock 

When you are trying to think of a word but your mind locks on to a similar word preventing you from remembering the desired word.
Chuck - "We had some of those New Orleans pastry things - oh, darn, I had it on the tip of my tongue but now all I can think of is 'bidet' and I know that's not it."

Carol - "Bidet!? It's a beignet - You don't eat a bidet you goof!"

Chuck - "I know, I know - I said that's not it - I had word lock."

Word Vacuum 

When you instantly regret saying something as soon as the words leave your mouth. Usually something that sounds unintentionally dirty, or just something you wish you hadn't said aloud. The tone in your voice changes halfway through the sentence as soon as you realize what you're saying. You wish you could just suck the words back into your mouth - like a vacuum.
Leafs announcer (after a hit) - "And that was two big bodies banging!"
You at home - "Woah, that was a word vacuum."
