Not to be confused with reminimosity (e.g. wanting to see which fast food joint the jock who bullied you ended up at) or reminipentance (e.g. wanting to see which software company the dork you bullied is now the CEO of).

Superb! I particularly like the companion suite of words. Reminimosity is something I've engaged in myself...
