Prosopagnosia (Greek: “prosopon” = “face”, “agnosia” = “inability to recognize/identify”) is a disorder of face perception where the ability to recognize faces is impaired, while the ability to recognize other objects may be relatively intact. The term originally referred to a condition following acute brain damage, but recently a congenital form of the disorder has been proposed, which may be inherited by about 2.5% of the population.[1] The specific brain area usually associated with prosopagnosia is the fusiform gyrus.[2]
it’s similar in genesis to my discartographia disorder
“some people are really really bad at facial recognition, there’s an actual disorder for it (seriously you can look it up, i learned about it one of my cognitive science classes). tho in your case it just sounds like a bitter barista.”
oh yeah – i’m sure there is.
nah – these baristas just don’t give a fuck
the baristas at the place i go to near work are awesome at it though – they had my drink down within a week, and i stop going there for months at a time, they still remember when i go back.
when i worked at starbucks in LI i had the regulars’ drinks memorized and had them started when i saw them pull up in their cars.

A podiatrist in the Detroit area, Errol Sherman, is charged with billing for toenail removals that never happened—in one case allegedly billing for 18 of the painful procedures for a single patient.

i like that – it’s a nice acknowledgment that “hey, i know you – but we don’t really need to learn each other’s names.”

Yafa’s Yemeni ones refer to me as “my friend”. They are pretty FOB.
Brit men also refer to ladies as “love”, i.e. cab drivers, etc. Also LME traders.
Another Brooklyn pronunciation is radiator (rad sounds like first sylable of radical instead of ray as in radiate.)

Definitely ‘boss’ for bodega owners. The more FOB ones say ‘my friend’.
Where I’m from, older women tend to address everyone as ‘love’.
