50 First Dates
Daily courtship restart
A 2004 romantic comedy starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, in which a man falls for a woman who has no short-term memory and forgets him each day.
The title has become shorthand for any relationship or situation requiring constant reintroduction: Dating him is like 50 First Dates—he never remembers what we talked about.
