Buckognize 

When you see a familiar face in public and realize you "know" the person but can't immediately recall from where. There is usually a brief period of confusion before being able to identify them as an acquaintance from your regular Starbucks location.

I buckognize that lady from the Highland Park Village Starbucks.

Breckognize 

A slang word developed amongst the bar flies of Breckenridge Colorado. This is a word for someone you have met several times while you were getting annihilated. You therefore recognize their face but can not remember their name for the life of you.

Bro-brah 1: Dude, who is that cat over at the other end of the bar giving me the eyes.

Bro-brah 2: I can't remember his name but I totally breckognize him from Liquid last weekend.

Pro-ho 1: I fucked him that night. His name is Ryan.

Bro-brah 1: Aw snap, you betta Breckognize!
