There are probably people that you have known for years that stutter and you don't realize it. I almost never stutter in interviews, on dates, or casual conversation in public. It's possible to "hide" in normal casuals settings. If you feel a block coming when you want to say "outrageous" just say "crazy" instead and things like that. I once worked on a team where two other guys stuttered, a DBA and Project Manager which is extraordinary since I think it affects less than 1% of the population. Anyway I knew instantly that they stuttered because they would take pauses a lot and the DBA in particular spoke very slowly like he was constantly thinking about his choice of words. I don't think any of us ever stuttered on the job but from someone familiar with the situation it was clear that coping mechanisms were being used to increase fluency.
