disremember
Fail to remember
Disremember means to forget, used in regional American English, particularly Southern and Appalachian dialects: I disremember where I put my keys.
The word adds the negative prefix to remember, creating a folksy alternative to forget that sounds deliberately old-fashioned or rustic to mainstream ears.
