That doesn't show him to be dumb at all. Instead, it shows that he's forgetful. I forget very common words all the time. I forget the names of people I've known for years. I forget the names of objects I use every single day. Once I forgot the word "pencil" but, curiously, could remember that in Spanish it was called a "lapiz."
