Flashbooking

A mash-up of "flashback" and "Facebooking." Occurs when a friend likes/comments on an embarrassing Facebook status or photo from many years ago, causing it to go to everyone's newsfeed, thus making the person ashamed of their stupidity/awful haircut/mirror selfie.

Erica was Flashbooking last night and got me good. I forgot I still had those selfie's from high school bandcamp on my Facebook.

Vietnam Flashback

When you remember a (usually) traumatic experience and disconnect all outside distractions.

Ariana: I think Mikey is high..
Justin: Nah, she is having a Vietnam Flashback from when she was on Hannah Montana.
Selena: I get it. Disney is awful.
Ariana: Yeah, Nickelodeon is better.

war flashbacks

1. When something happens that reminds you of an embarrassing, difficult, or so-disturbing-that-you'll-never-be-able-to-unsee-it event in your life.

2. Actual flashbacks to actual battles. Can happen with PTSD.

Oh my god, that was the same position my parents used when I walked in on them as a kid. I'm having war flashbacks!

Don't you trigger a war flashback, son. I once killed a man!

flashback humour

Indirect breach of the fourth wall at the end of the movie "Fight Club". When the plot comes around to the opening scene again after two hours of flashback, the Narrator (Edward Norton) states he "still hasn't anything to say", and Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) refers to this as "flashback humour".

Any other definitions for flashback humour?
