Shopnesia
Created by: artr
Pronunciation: shop-nee-zhuh

The money he saves on bargains can quickly be spent in fuel as he returns to the store to retrieve the purchase he left behind.
Etymology: shop (to visit stores for purchasing or examining good) + amnesia (loss of a large block of interrelated memories)

Forgetmeshop
Created by: splendiction
Pronunciation: for get me shop
Sentence: Hal decided the best way to help Lily avoid to forgetmeshop was to attend all outlets, malls, boutiques and markets with her. He would offer her brazen reminders of the time she’d left a posy of brightly-coloured shopping bags at the store, along with their daughter Violet. (Lily’s excuse was that she left the child to tend the flowery bags while she decided whether or not she really needed the goods...or was she simply bingbuying)? Hal would have none of it! He diligently tended to her, offering encouragement and water, hoping she’d remember her items. One day, he would get her a bouquet of Forget-me-nots to celebrate the happy shopping trips when they arrived home together remembering their purchases.
Etymology: From the flower: "Forget-me-not" and shop.
