Mathematica Nostalgia

Thoughts of yesteryear that remind you of those times when you longed for math to be an optional school subject, or hoped that your math teacher would be abducted by aliens.

Seeing her two boys struggle with the most disliked school subject evokes feelings of mathematica nostalgia in Mrs. Paul, who suffered from mathophobia when faced with brain-unfriendly word problems.

Nostalgia Merchant

Rosy Retrospection but for football. Someone who judges a player from the past based on certain moments and not he whole picture.

Kevin de Bruyne is a better player than ZIdane but only nostalgia merchants will disagree

Nostalge

nostalgic benchmark

When one person in a group or family holds on to a symbolic memory or experience with more importance than the other people involved in that experience or memory. For this person, a nostalgic benchmark holds a reference point for a significant event that is no longer significant to others who were involved in this experience or event.

A mother and son always go to a certain restaurant to eat chicken wings. As the son grows older, he no longer likes chicken wings and has no desire to eat them, but the mother insists on going back to the restaurant, which serves the chicken wings that both of them once loved. For the mother this is a nostalgic event, but for the son, who no longer eats chicken wings or likes them, this experience of going to the restaurant to eat chicken wings no longer holds any importance or nostalgia. So, for the mother this is a nostalgic benchmark, but for the son, it has no importance, or nostalgia, it has no benchmark anymore.

Nostalgia Fairy

A theorized source of the euphoria that suddenly fills your porous body, as you come across a relic of sorts that helped define you as an adult.

"I'm going to stay in the house I grew up in for a few nights over Christmas. The Nostalgia Fairy is gonna rape me, man"
