tardigrade amnesia 

When you get so drunk you somehow become impervious to any sort of physical harm, and survive the strangest and most dangerous encounters, without remembering any of it. Named after tardigrades, small animals that can survive in almost any conditions, even in the vacuum of space.

I don't remember ... think I fell from the balcony into a bush and passed out.. and slept in there until the morning..." "What the fuck? That's some hardcore tardigrade amnesia!"

"So Marc woke up bare ass naked on the beach under an inflatable boat. He didn't know where any of his stuff was so he had to walk two hours to his mom's place wearing some tarp he found on the beach." "Dude it was freezing outside last night!" "Yeah talk about tardigrade amnesia"

Tardigrada Skasick 

Very much like that of a Tardigrada, but not really as cool...

Skasicks, or skittles as they are sometimes called are attracted to such animals as redheads and when a Skasick finds a redhead it likes it makes awkward stuttering noises and lame jokes.
To catch a skasick you must make a statement that can be answered with "That's What She Said" Then you can club it and skin it. Skasick skins don't really go for much more than half a penny.
