i once tried to play alias with a few people, and even if i recognized what they were describing immediately, it took me so long to get the word loaded up that they were already in the next card... i couldn't get a word out for an hour straight.

I have the same problem. For me training took care of this temporary muteness under pressure. Unfortunately training took longer than my relationship who loved to play lasted, but hey, now I'm at least OK in it (and really good when I get to the zone).

Any specific tips on training? Is there a name for it, or is it just general practice talking to people?

I was explaining this problem to a teacher after we were supposed to discuss a book, and I didn't get a single sentence out because it took to long to phrase it. Yeah... She had no clue what I'm talking about.
