It is very natural and human to have a memory lapse, besides we never truly forget anything. Much easier to admit the word escapes us and leave it at that. No struggle to recall the word; just respect for the brain and acceptance that it is busy with something more important, or needs the rest. As Deepa observed, some of these words need to come with explanations anyway. Usually even when I can recall such words, I search for simpler common phrases to express the same idea. Especially if the word isn't in common use between me and the listener. Big words detract from the subject of the conversation.
