Less intense than the experience of "
blacking out" when drunk and not remembering portions (or all) of your night, "
browning out" occurs when you don't remember something until someone brings it up. It's not a complete blackout, but partial, because you remember once someone
refreshes you.
I didn't even remember making out with
Bryanne until
J-Lo told me (it must not have been
that good)! I definitely had a brown out last night.
