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

'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).

Aren't you supposed to say "OK Couggle....." before you ask him things?
[i]disremembering
fail to remember.
"mostly what you disremember ain't worth the trouble to call to mind"[/i]
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).

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 [s]disremember[/s] forget about it?
Idiots!
