Anyone get by their stutter by pretending their memory is just awful?

Anyone get by their stutter by pretending their memory is just awful? For example if I’m blocking on “Peter Street” I’ll just be like “What’s the name of that street.. I think it’s ... why can’t I remember ... Oh it’s Peter Street” AKA after getting like 10-20 filler words in I know the right time to “slip” in what I really want to say. It’s kind of dishonest but it really does work .. buys you 5-10 seconds and looks semi natural.
