throwback

A sudden reminder of the past. This can be brought about by hearing a song from high school, seeing an ex, puffing on a j in your old puffin spot, etc. Similar to a flashback.

Going back to New York is always a throwback...

Throwback

1. A Mitchell & Ness classic sports jersey, or any retro sports jersey
2. Another word to describe old school music

1. "See me rocking more throwbacks than Fabolous"
2. That song is a throwback from the 90's

A fish caught that measures under the legal limit.
