Irish Amnesia

Irish amnesia is an extreme version of the cold shoulder. When an Irishman with a short temper is annoyed with someone he may ignore that person's entire existence.

Dude, what's up with Eamon? I'm talking to him and he is staring right through me like I'm invisible.

Dude he's pissed at you, and he's giving you the Irish Amnesia treatment.

movie amnesia

Forgetting movie situations and important things within a couple years of seeing the movie.

I wish I could remember that hilarious/crazy part of that movie I saw 3 years ago, but I suffer from movie amnesia.

Buritto Amnesia

Buritto amnesia is when someone eats a buritto, then forgets about it and blames someone for eating it on them. This usually happens to students with room mates who share a small freezer.

Dylan: Craig! you ate my buritto you douche bag

Craig: No I didnt. I saw you eat it last week. You suffer from Buritto Amnesia

Tab amnesia

Opening a new tab only to realize you have no idea why you opened it.

I had to look up something on the google, but as soon as I opened a new tab I instantly got tab amnesia, stared at my screen a minute, and viewed some porn instead.

fiscal amnesia

1. when you have a job skill set that is being exploited to a level outside of your pay grade and you conveniently forget how to use that skill set. (commonly occurs when a corporation refuses to acknowledge the exploitation of skill sets they aren't currently paying for but expecting at bottom dollar) See: holding out for more money.
2. when a party wants something that you know but holds out for money feigning to not recall the details. (seen in many movies)

Manager: oh you know how to program Cisco switches but you are an under paid hourly guy. hmm.. how about you go ahead and deploy that new network segment.
Employee: Yea, how about compensation commensurate with that skill set.
Manager: How about you do it or look for other employment.
Employee: Yea, sorry I was mistaken, I am suffering from fiscal amnesia at this point.

"Where is the guy we are looking for?"
"Sorry my memory is a little hazy."
"Does this Franklin change your mind?"
"Well what do you know, I think I remember now.. he is staying in that apartment upstairs at 1549 fourth street... 3b."
