SpinyNorman stranger Registered: 11/10/09 Posts: 1	I am looking for a word that describes a situation where you cannot place somebody outside original context of meeting that person. Not a medical condition like prosopamnesia or prosopagnosia. Just one of those situations where the identity of the person is beyond your memory for some reason. Appreciate your help!
