It's simple. If you think "hmm that's odd" and you aren't quite sure if you believe it, look for a second source.

#33: I always expect the other person to keep the bags to then use with gifts that they give out. However, if it looks like they're the sort that is just going to throw it out with the trash, I'll ask for it back to use for the next present.

It's called a paraphasic error - there's several different types of paraphasic errors, some involve not remembering names (anomia) others involve substituting similar words. I tried to find a decent website that talked about the different forms of paraphasic errors but failed miserably in my attempt.
When you can't find the word at all and talk yourself around to what you mean, that's called circumlocution
