Memery
Miːm'ᵊri (n.)
Cultural knowledge of insignificant but socially important things. Evidenced from this online exchange between JC and his daughter, the beautiful and permanently-network connected Antagonista Contrariana:

Antagonista: Dad, do we have a copy of Gombrich’s The Story of Art?
JC: We do. It is on the bookshelf in the living room afaik.
Antagonista: What’s afaik
JC: “As far as I know”.
Antagonista: Did you make that up
JC: No!
Antagonista: Hmmmmm.
JC: [Cites various internet sources incl. the Cambridge Online dictionary to prove it]
Antagonista: No way Cambridge knows about it and I don’t
JC: I know, right. Extraordinary gap in your memery.
