that means the tendency to use a newly learned word (or technique, or play) immediately and over and over, it gets almost irritating? I swear I saw a comedy show using this (probably) coined term one time and I am forgetting now.

You could be suffering from this loganamnosis - a mania to recall forgotten words whilst searching for this
ngeminate (v.) - repeat; reiterate; to emphasize by repetition. If this is not the word you are looking for maybe take a look here stommel.tamu.edu/~baum/skb_dict.

The only thing I can think of which is remotely close to what you are describing is Monty Python's "Spam" skit. The word spam was used a zillion times in just a few minutes! It still makes me laugh when I think about it; which is disturbingly often!
You can see the video of the sketch on YouTube at :

The answer is simple and has to do with mnemonics. The memory we have is trained of untrained, those individuals having an untrained memory often resort to using the phrase "I forgot!" Actually the person did not train his or her memory, I can recall a shopping list of ten items using only my mind and trained memory. Harry Lorayne school of memory will assist you in training your memory or you can by the memory book by the same person.

Maybe cliché?
Or Yadda if it was Seinfeld.

"ad nauseum" refers to using something over and over, but it doesn't have to be something new....
