Almost exclusively attributed to females who go out in public having 'forgotten' to put on their underwear, specifically their knickers / panties. It is often suggested that they do this purely to shock or to draw attention to themselves, particularly when exiting cars or deliberately bending over, for publicity or other reasons.
Several celebrities are said to have suffered from this problem on various occasions, in particular Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton.
Underwear amnesia is not to be confused with going commando which is where someone, male or female, deliberately does not wear any underwear as a matter of personal choice for comfort, hygiene or other reasons, the difference being that people going commando will not deliberately seek to draw attention to the fact that they are not wearing underwear.

The movie character Catherine Tramell, played by award-winning actress Sharon Stone in the 1992 movie 'Basic Instinct', famously suffered from underwear amnesia, as we discovered in the leg-crossing scene during her interrogation at the police station.

Get the Text Amnesia mug.Refers to da "shout-out" phone call dat you make to one or more local homes/businesses during a power-outage, to ask if they are without electricity, also ("Are you folks in da Dark Ages, as well?"); this allows you to reliably determine if it is indeed a widespread outage, rather than it's being "just you" (i.e., where you would need to check your home's wiring/fuse-box for unseen faulty connections).
During an unexpected power-outage, most folks will likely be at least marginally patient/understanding if you want to check wif dem about whether their electricity is off, as well, but you should still consider carefully before making said call --- usually you will want to do so only if da current weather is fairly "calm 'n' balmy" and therefore a utilities-outage would not be expected. It is generally understood dat service-wires might be downed if there is heavy snow/wind, and so in these cases your "dark ages"-inquiry phone call might be viewed as somewhat of an unnecessary/frivolous interruption, especially since those other folks will themselves probably be experiencing moderate difficulties/concerns regarding said hiccup in da flow of "angry pixies", and so at da time they may be feverishly scrambling to "batten down da hatches" while waiting for da power to come back on again. Good luck trying to call anyone, though, since nowadays da phone and electricity are no longer such "entirely separate circuits" as they used to be, and so unless it's an extremely small and "localized" outage, your home-phone service will likely be out, also, if da electricity is off. Dat's an instance where mobile phones can be an alternative means of communication, since most cellular-towers have their own "dedicated" power-source dat will remain active even if da "regular" electricity is off.
