Get the memory burpmug.

I started saying this about 20 years ago to make the girl's laugh. It's pretty self explanatory. Use it instead of photo. It's one of those words people look back at you, like "did he just say that?".

Of course I will remember, I have a pornographic memory!

memory cramp

When a stimuli triggers memories causing intense feelings that may appear to be associated with shame or regret; very painful, but of a mental kind, they may be so short that one cannot comprehend the memory.

Seemingly to be a side effect of stimulants.

I think I found a scientific term for this once, but I don't remember it.

When I'm with others and clench my fist or make a squeak, I don't have to lie anymore, I can honestly say "just a memory cramp"
