noun
Being put on hold for so long that one forgets what the original intent of the call was. May also be caused by holdnotism, or the act of being hypnotised by the light jazz, showtunes, or the shitty oldies muzak being played while holding.
Calling the Spaghetti-Omanufacturerthe other day to complain about a large hunk of rodentia in my can of food, I was put on hold for an hour, inducing Holdnesia.
Hamnesia is similar to amnesia, but all you can think about or remember is pork and pork products. Might also lead to daydreams of frolicking with pigs or hogs.
Damn this Hamnesia, I can't stop thinking about bacon.
