disremembers
Fails to retain
Disremembers is a dialectal or folksy verb meaning forgets.
It appears most often in Southern American English and Appalachian speech, lending a rustic or old-fashioned flavor to the forgetting: I disremember where I put my glasses.
The prefix dis- reverses the action of remember, though the word functions identically to forget.
It sometimes carries a tone of deliberate vagueness, as when someone claims to disremember something they'd rather not discuss.
