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.

Amnesiarexic

The act of forgetting to eat any of your three daily meals. This can be a result of a busy schedule or simply absentmindedness. This is most commonly the case with breakfast but also equally applicable to other meals.

One becomes amnesiarexic only if one is not anorexic in the first place i.e. the act of eating needs to already be part of your daily routine and thus to forget to do so makes one "amnesiarexic".

The most common symptoms of an amnisiarexic person include:

Indulgence in "Brunch"
Chewing of gum, pens or pencil top erasers
Stomach roaring sounds

Amnesia

Well, shit. You ain't a kid or a senior. You ain't less accommodated to your peers, but in sight of the kids you have Alzheimers. In sight of the elderly you are a Nazi. In sight of both you have Dementia. What a concoction of disaster for everyone.
My mom just ate intellectual shit when I was being rationale with her. What if she suffers from Amnesia.

amnesiatic retro-blaming

Hypocritically blaming the other political party for a governmental action that you originally proposed at greater expense.
Senator Chuck Schumer's blaming of Trump for federal spending during the COVID pandemic is a clear case of amnesiatic retro-blaming. Schumer was asking for a lot more money for COVID than Trump eventually approved. It's extremely bogus for Schumer to point fingers at Trump now.
