Co-dependent 

Often describing someone who finds all their value as a human being in having a romantic relationship. If they are single, they feel like a total failure and therefore will put up with all kinds of possessive, unhealthy Mr/Ms. Wrongs to bolster their own self worth.

Often seen in high school sweethearts who date all the way through college and into mid-20s. Even though annoyed and bored with each other, they still refuse to break up because they can't stand being single.

Debbie said she always knew Jason wasn't 'the one', but still dated him for 7 years. She's as co-dependent as a barnacle.

state-dependent learning 

Psychological phenomenon where people remember things better when they return to whatever state of consciousness they were in when they originally learned them. If you do, say, Ritalin while studying for an exam, you'll do better if you're on Ritalin again when you actually take the test.

Student 1: Dude, it's 8:30am on Tuesday-- why are you drinking a beer?

Student 2: I got hammered while I was studying for my Econ final and now I don't remember anything. I'm hoping state-dependent learning will kick in once I get a buzz on, though.
