Convenient Amnesia 

*noun* (until someone starts doing it too much, then it changes to a verb) pronounced kun-veen-nunt am-nee-shia

1. Pretty much whenever a certain someone/something is wrong (which is plentiful), he/she/it retracts by saying something totally asinine to cover himself/herself/itself up and try to still prove that he/she/it is right. Basically used to being remembered facts to twist reality.
2. Forgetting certain facts of an area to twist things so you cannot be proven wrong.

*Circa 1999, Location; Phoenix area Best Buy*
Milo: Bro, I've been waiting 18 years for this new Star Wars film to come out! You as excited as I am?
Conner: Yeah! I've been a huge fan my whole life!
Milo: I hear they're introducing a whole bunch of new characters, new Jedi's, a young Anakin Skywalker, and they introduced his mother Shmi (pronounced shmee)
Conner: Naw bro, her name is shimmy
Milo: I just looked at the book that we sell here and its spelled S H M I and phonetically it sounds out shmee
Conner: Yeah, but is pronounced shimmy
*argument ensues for several months*
*premiere night for Phantom Menace arrives*
Qui Gon Jinn: Hello, my name is Qui Gon Jinn
Shmi: My name is Shmi (pronounced shmee) Skywalker
*Milo looks at Conner and smiles. Also see getting palled*
*several years later*
Conner: Incorrect! No bro, it was episode II, 2002, AND it was you who thought it was shimmy!
Milo: Wow, convenient amnesia!! But here is where your argument is flawed broseph. Don't you think by episode 2 I would have known her name was pronounced shmee?

Tony: Dude, me n my boy were talking about the transformers sound and when it happens in the movie vs. when it happens in the cartoon.
Conner: Its when Barricade transforms in the beginning.
Tony: No way, that was Blackout. Blackout is the helicopter.
Conner: No, Barricade is the helicopter.
Tony: Let's look it up.
*after a quick few keystrokes on the interweb*
Tony: There it is. Blackout is the helicopter. You just got palled son.
Conner: Whatever, I never said he wasn't
Tony: Wow. What Convenient Amnesia!

Friend Of Convenience - FOC 

Someone who treats you only as a "friend" when it is convenient for them.

The type of friend who only calls when they need (money, help, support, advice, etc.) but are never there to help or give it back to you.

They are the type of friend who will want to hang out with you when they are bored and have nothing else to do and have nobody else to hang out with. But, as soon as another opportunity arrives they will leave and not talk to you until they need you again.
Typically a very self-centered type of person who only truly cares about themselves.

When the person treating you as an Friend Of Convenience - FOC needs something:

Amanda: "Hey Dave, I'm having problems with my family, can I come over and hang out for a while?"
Dave: "Sure, I'm always here for you."

---

When you ask the person treating you like an "FOC" for the same thing in return, but they are feeling good about themselves already and don't "need" you:

Dave: "Hey Amanda, I really had a bad day, my girlfriend left me and I got fired can I come hang-out?"

Amanda: "Um... yeah not right now I'm kind of busy.. I'll call you later" (Actually she was doing nothing but a crossword puzzle, and never calls you back)

---
When you know you're friend is treating you as an "FOC"

"Hey Dave, what's up with Amanda? She never seems to hang out unless she's having problems or needs something from you. "
"Yeah i know, I'm just her FOC, and I'm pretty tired of being used by her!"

Ad Proximum Convivium

A Latin term meaning "on to the next party." The "V's" are pronounced as "W's" as per traditional Latin prononciation. (Ad proximum conwiwium)

Popularized by the Seattle-based radio show/podcast Too Beautiful to Live (TBTL).

TBTL just got cancelled as a radio show, but is still a podcast. Oh well, ad proximum convivium, I suppose.
