This is one for Cougar; can you define?

Yank, innit.

And preferable to dismembering

Disclaimer: I don’t speak for Cougs

Better than dat remembering.

My UK spell check wants to correct it to ‘misremembering’. I have to say that I agree, being the patriotic sort.

There’s no need to speak any dialect here, the British language has all the necessary words.

Disremember – to forget
Misremember – getting details wrong

‘s what I’d have gone with, but it’s a guess. Never come across it before, feels like an Americanism (especially with “ain’t” in the example).

Except ‘troll’

This is one for Cougar

Aren’t you supposed to say “OK Couggle…..” before you ask him things?

disremembering
fail to remember.
“mostly what you disremember ain’t worth the trouble to call to mind”

What a pointless word. Sustitute it with “forget” then disremember it.

A neologism.

As with many new American words and phrases it translates as “I told a fib and got found out”.

Never come across it before, feels like an Americanism (especially with “ain’t” in the example).

A neologism.

More like an old English word that they didn’t get out of the habit of using.

So a perfectly good word is thrown away and replaced with something longer and harder to say.
Whats wrong with forgetting? Or did they just disremember forget about it?
Idiots!
