Partial memory loss, specifically of an isolated event.
Very conveniently (and in some cases thankfully) tends to happen to people after a night of drunken revelry.
Also a very common plot element of bad romance novels and [bodice] rippers.
Which is not to say that its not used in books and movies with an actually [good plot]. [Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind] comes to mind.
