The concept had existed before, but my friend had actually given it a title.
When your friends are deciding where to eat, you can play the replace a memory game - you go somewhere that makes you sad to think about because of memories you had there with someone who broke your heart, and you create a new memory with your friends.
Since we were already in the neighborhood, and had had a few drinks, I decided we should get burritos and replace a memory, while singing the theme song from the Mary Tyler Moore show.

Science is familiar with this concept as well: http://www.edge.org/q2008/q08_1.html#ledoux
What if you learned the replace a memory game from someone whose memory makes you sad when playing it? Would you replace the game with something entirely different, like backgamon?
