Here is today's tip to keep you from sounding like a moron: The word "momentarily" means "for a moment," not "in a moment." People think they sound intelligent when they say, "I'll be with you momentarily," when actually they sound stupid because they're misusing the word. If you do misuse the word, excuse yourself by saying it was a momentary lapse in judgment. You could also say, "Sorry, I momentarily forgot what the word means."
