retro recognition

When you re watch an old tv episode or film and recognise someone who you now know as a famous person/character.

Oh my God it's Oberyn Martell in Buffy the vampire slayer, and he looks so young!

Retro recognition can also be pretty much guaranteed by watchingt any old episode of tales from the crypt.

Steve:Here, I got us some Diet Cokes
Phil:Everyone hates Diet Coke
Chick:Can I have one?

Western Recognition

A term used by kpoppies in a poor attempt to soothe their crippling ego. It is often used to differentiate Validation from Recognition, despite meaning the same thing.

Person A: "We don't need Western Validation. We have Western Recognition instead."

Dictionary: "Actually, they're synonyms of each other, but here's an A for effort."
