post-sexual fugue

The act of fleeing the scene of a negative sexual encounter. Marked by a strong aversion to having contact or communication with the other sexual party. In extreme cases even being in the same vicinity is too much to bear. Often occuring after cum horror. Often leads to shame shower.

Yeah, we had sex. But I had an episode of post-sexual fugue. I snuck out, got in my car, and drove-off like a mad man with a sigh of relief.

techno-fugue 

A modern disorder characterized by reversible amnesia for personal identity, including the memories, personality and other identifying characteristics of individuality due to the purchase of a new gadget such a last generation iPhone.
The state, accompanied by the establishment of a new identity, is short-term. After recovery from techno-fugue, previous memories usually return intact, however there is complete amnesia for the entire episode.

In my techno-fugue state, staring at my new iPhone the way I once glanced at humanity, with interest and anticipation, I nearly knock down toddlers and the elderly, lost in my newly acquired identity.

dissociative fugue 

where you wake up and you are someone else and then some time later you come back to yourself. The thing is you can demand people on acid to "dissociate!" and they think they do, but really they don't because part of a dissociative fugue is that it can't be drug-induced.

Alex: "Eli. Dissociate!"
Eli: "I like mittens!"
Josie: "Sweet God,I think Eli's having a dissociative fugue!

Jet-Fugue 

Being temporarily unaware of oneself and familiar others following a return airline flight that crosses multiple time zones.

I live on the East coast, and when I woke up after my first night back from the West coast, I saw may husband and thought, "who is that," then I knew I must have been the victim of Jet-Fugue

Associative Fugue 

Not to be confused with dissociative fugue, a period of disconnection from real life brought on by trauma (an example being Renée Zellweger's character in Nurse Betty, who blocks out a murder she witnesses by believing herself part of a hospital drama playing on TV).

Basically the same as a wiki-hole but allowing for other sites, like YouTube or TV Tropes - a state of mental distancing from the here and now brought on by clicking so many links related to what you were looking up that by the time you've made it back to reality you can't remember what you came in for and dinner's ruined.

"I had a massive associative fugue last night. I was looking up something on youtube about dangerous snakes and found myself an hour and a half later watching clips from A Fish Called Wanda."

pizza fugue

The heady, fuzzy, nearly unconscious state that one slips into after devouring pizza.

Tim: "Sam, what's wrong man? You look like you're about to faint."
Sam: "Nah man, I'm good. I ate a whole pizza, and now I am in a pizza fugue."

Scroll fugue 

When you scroll through social media for an extended period and lose your perception of time.

I went on Twitter for like 15 min and got sucked into a scroll fugue. Before I knew it, four hours had passed!
