phrase requests - A little brain fart
What is a nicer, less immature saying?
I love using 'A Freudian slip', but that is only applicable in certain situations.
Answer
In formal contexts, you might consider a temporary "lapse", or, more specifically, a "mental lapse".
In less formal situations, I've often used "thinko"; sometimes elderly people say they've had a "senior moment".
If you've specifically overlooked something otherwise obvious, then a short, descriptive term is a (minor) "oversight".
