## Definition

A fictional drug that removes all your regrets — including the regret of taking it.

## Example

Editorial illustration, not a source quotation.

> After my disastrous toast, I joked about taking Regretamine to erase every regret, including the regret of swallowing an imaginary pill.

## Word Anatomy

“Regret” gets a medicine-like “-amine” ending, making an uncomfortable feeling sound treatable by a pill. The joke loops back: the imaginary cure also removes the regret of taking it.

## Potential impact

A name for imaginary regret relief can turn self-criticism into a shared joke, making it easier to learn from mistakes and forgive ourselves.
