Repetitive Familiarity Amnesia 

The inability to remember if you did something you do every day.

Every morning when you leave the house, you push the button on the garage door remote closing the garage door. Then 10 minutes later, you can’t recall if you closed the garage door because you do the exact same action at the exact same time every morning, so they all blend together and you couldn’t tell if your memory was from that morning or any of the previous mornings where you went through the same motions like you have countless times before. You just experienced Repetitive Familiarity Amnesia.

societal familiarity disorder (SFD) 

When two people spend a lot of time together and begin to develop feelings for each other. But they actually are just assuming society's view on relationships. That people are suppose to be in pairs. So two good friends think they're in a romantic relationship.

John and Jane are both unemployed, so they have a lot of time to spend together. They start getting feelings that they mistaken as romance. They start really dating, get jobs and realize they were suffering from societal familiarity disorder (SFD)!

Chorus Familiarity

When you don't recognize a song until the chorus then you know it instantly.

Probably most likely due to 80s and 90s commercials for music compilations where they only played snippets of the catchy chorus but not the rest, and lack of access meant if you weren't already familiar with the song you only had the chorus to go by.

Can also apply to songs you only know as samples.

I didn't recognize Lovergirl until I got to the chorus, then I got Chorus Familiarity.

familiamance 

Noun Combined word from Latin familia (family) and romance

A strong, mutually-consenting, relationship between a male and female non-biological step-siblings that is legal within the jurisdiction they reside. It may or may not have a sexual element.

The term familiance does not apply in cases where it is legally described as incest.. It doesn't apply when the relationship is more aptly described as child abuse.

Entomology: Framilian is a derived word that orginated with the word bromance. Bromance is a portmanteau of the words bro or brother and romance. Editor Dave Carnie coined the term in the skateboard magazine Big Brother in the 1990s to refer specifically to the sort of relationships that develop between skaters who spent a great deal of time together. The word was intended for only platonic friendships so a second word framance was coined to described a similar relationship with a sexual element.

Female equivalent words that were coined were sismance, for a platonic relationship, and soromance for one with a sexual element.

Same sex step-sibling relationships with a sexual element, where it is legal, and where one or both is really straight are better described as a framance or soromance. Same sex step-sibling relationships, where it is legal, and both are gay or lesbian are better described using the terms gay-romance or lesbian-romance.

After they both turned 18 the two step-siblings could legally marry after their long familiamance.

familiarity filter 

The "familiarity filter" refers to the phenomenon where children are more inclined to listen to strangers rather than their own parents, often due to filtering out familiar things that have always been there.

It's interesting how the familiarity filter works; my child pays more attention to advice from a teacher than from me, just because it feels new and different.
