Familiar

With everything changing the way it is these days, and everyone trying to change what hasn't changed, the familiar and refusing to change is revolutionary.
The familiar is what people miss if it does change. It's easier to do what everybody else does and try to change, to change yourself, or to try and change the world around you, than it is to stand against the people trying to change it all because they see dollar signs in doing so.

I was not familiar with your game

Phrase use by Shaquille O’Neal to describe a current NBA player who he did not believe was as good. However the player proved him wrong. In a post-game interview Shaq told the player “I owe you an apology. I was not really familiar with your game”.

Since then it became viral as a meme and used in different contexts by someone who acknowledges a person or group that surprised them with a set of skills, abilities, or their character and opinions etc.

The Familiar Stranger

When you sit on a hard, wooden chair until your ass falls asleep so that your buddy can rail you from behind without it being gay.
Yo, Martin gave me The Familiar Stranger last night and was courteous enough to toss a dish rag underneath for the leaks. I like that guy!
