Convenient Amnesia

*noun* (until someone starts doing it too much, then it changes to a verb) pronounced kun-veen-nunt am-nee-shia

1. Pretty much whenever a certain someone/something is wrong (which is plentiful), he/she/it retracts by saying something totally asinine to cover himself/herself/itself up and try to still prove that he/she/it is right. Basically used to being remembered facts to twist reality.
2. Forgetting certain facts of an area to twist things so you cannot be proven wrong.
*Circa 1999, Location; Phoenix area Best Buy*
Milo: Bro, I've been waiting 18 years for this new Star Wars film to come out! You as excited as I am?
Conner: Yeah! I've been a huge fan my whole life!
Milo: I hear they're introducing a whole bunch of new characters, new Jedi's, a young Anakin Skywalker, and they introduced his mother Shmi (pronounced shmee)
Conner: Naw bro, her name is shimmy
Milo: I just looked at the book that we sell here and its spelled S H M I and phonetically it sounds out shmee
Conner: Yeah, but is pronounced shimmy
*argument ensues for several months*
*premiere night for Phantom Menace arrives*
Qui Gon Jinn: Hello, my name is Qui Gon Jinn
Shmi: My name is Shmi (pronounced shmee) Skywalker
*Milo looks at Conner and smiles. Also see getting palled*
*several years later*
Conner: Incorrect! No bro, it was episode II, 2002, AND it was you who thought it was shimmy!
Milo: Wow, convenient amnesia!! But here is where your argument is flawed broseph. Don't you think by episode 2 I would have known her name was pronounced shmee?

Tony: Dude, me n my boy were talking about the transformers sound and when it happens in the movie vs. when it happens in the cartoon.

Urban Dictionary Amnesia

v.

The affliction suffered when you go on Urban Dictionary to look up a word, but after several minutes of reading all the Words of the Day you've missed since you were last on UD, you completely forget what you wanted to look up.
Today was the day I finally decided to figure out what the word "sex" meant. I pulled up Urban Dictionary, but was immediately distracted by all the Words of the Days that had been posted since I last needed to go on UD, to figure out what the word "boobies" meant. I came down with a case of Urban Dictionary Amnesia and forgot why I was even there in the first place. Ah well, I'm sure it's not that important anyway...

"Oh, right, that's why I was here"

*click*

"AWWW WHAT THE ASS THAT'S FUCKING DISGUSTING!"

And that's why i decided to try autofellatio.

Grand Theft Amnesia

What occurs when you have played Grand Theft Auto for so long, it begins to rewire all previous learning in your brain, causing you to do really stupid shit without thinking. Depending on your level of intelligence, Grand Theft Amnesia can cause you to do anything from running red lights unintentionally to shooting at moving cars with various semi-automatic weapons or jacking cars at gunpoint.
The news recently reported a story of two young men in one of the Southern states who were arrested after being caught shooting at cars on the freeway. When questioned, the boys explained that they had just finished playing Grand Theft Auto and it seemed like a fun thing to try. They were obviously suffering from a bad case of Grand Theft Amnesia.

amnesiorexia

The act of forgetting to eat, sometimes skipping meals for extremely long periods of time. Most people with amnesiorexia skip meals because they work, sleep, or are otherwise occupied, not because they desire to lose weight, and most enjoy eating. Amnesiorexics commonly forgo eating or drinking for at least 8 hours while they are awake.

The best cure for amnesiorexia is having a constant meal time, but having small snacks throughout the day is also helpful.
Busy interns, students, and gamers often have amnesiorexia.

Kate eats lunch at 12 PM, but because of two long classes (with a short break between them) she forgets to eat again until 10 PM. Kate may be amnesiorexic.

Will and his friends start a game of Risk around 10 PM, and are so absorbed in the game they play until it ends at 6 AM. Will realizes he hasn't eaten anything since 8 PM last night. Will may be amnesiorexic.
