lacunar amnesia

Partial memory loss, specifically of an isolated event.

Very conveniently (and in some cases thankfully) tends to happen to people after a night of drunken revelry.

Also a very common plot element of bad romance novels and bodice rippers.

Which is not to say that it's not used in books and movies with an actually good plot. "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" comes to mind.
"The way those deaths occurred, any reaction is possible including lacunar amnesia."

Walmart Amnesia

Slut Amnesia

The condition of forgetting what a slut someone is no matter how many heinous slutty things they have done. Usually achieved through manipulation or the use of nature's credit card.
Despite all of the horribly slutty things Katie has done, including interfering with marriages, ruining relationships, and cheating of every guy she has ever been with, Luke has a bad case of slut amnesia and decided to date her anyway. This won't end well for Luke.

movie amnesia

Being unable to remember large parts of a movie due to making out with someone at the time.
I saw that film last week. I think it was good, but I've got pretty bad movie amnesia; I was kissing Sam for most of it!

I can't remember if I've seen it or not... maybe it's movie amnesia, I've been to the cinema with Joe a lot lately!
