eidetic memory

Eidetic memory is the rare ability to recall a highly detailed image for a brief period after seeing it only once, without using any mnemonic device. While this phenomenon is most often observed in children, it's debated whether it exists in adults, and scientific evidence proving its reality is lacking. The ability is thought to involve strong brain connections, efficient synapses, and is sometimes associated with synesthesia, a neurological condition.

Did you see how fast Tania remembered every detail from that painting? She must have eidetic memory or something!

junkyard memory

The memory that you have in your brain, but still require you to revisit deeply — e.g. when you started high school in Japan on Tuesday, April 2nd 1991

You know those memories that need a little digging into? That’s a junkyard memory. Like when you started high school in Japan on Tuesday, April 2nd 1991—it’s there, but you have to sift through the layers to really recall it.

Covid Memory Fog

This is a way of defining a person who cannot or remembers very little of anything pre 2020/during the Covid Pandemic. This could be due to people's substance use during the pandemic or their inability to do anything with their lives. Including, binge watching anime for hours. Playing video games for hours. Drinking or smoking themselves to death. Or just flat out introverted behavior.

James: Hey we met before?
Earl: No i'm from New York
James: Yeah i went to high school in New York... you have Covid Memory Fog dude...
Or
James: do you remember the time we went to the bar and had that big fight with those 4 guys?
Earl: Fight? I've never fought ever?
James: Dude we were talking about it for weeks in College? You have Covid Memory Fog!

Dumping physical memory

The process one undertakes when taking a dump whilst on the toilet. The term has come increasingly into use with the advent of social networking sites that can result in some people spending hours, or even days, just dumping physical memory with little need to leave the room. If you try this it is recommended that you bring some water and some sandwiches with you to avoid thirst or starvation.

John: Who's in the toilet?! I've been waiting ages!
Jack: One sec...
Cindy: I'd give up John, he's on his laptop and crapping at the same time.
John: Ohhh, I understand now, I didn't know he was dumping physical memory.
