Words you can keep
Someone you know is known. When you know somebody, you don't have to test them to know who they always were.
1) The guy was a relative of him/her, so he didn't need to test him/her to know who he/she really was, he had known him/her growing up.

2) The guy had spent years around him/her at work, so he knew who he/she really was without having to test him/her. The other worker/coworker was known to him.

known issue 

A fault or defect in a system or machine that has been documented, but not yet fixed. A "known issue" differs from a "bug" in the sense that "bugs" are unknown, or at the very least undocumented.
"Customer Service, how may I help you?"
"Oh my god! I bought your new product and when I turned it on it began systematically hunting and killing my friends and family!"
"Yes, that is a known issue."
"What?!"
"It's documented."

Known Shitter 

Someone who is a well-known/relevant member within a community due to their unfathomably egotistical personality. They will oftentimes have large egos but lack any sort of self-esteem. They also display a desperate craving for validation from their peers because they are physically incapable of having their own sense of self-worth.
Ever since that known shitter won the Fortnite World Cup, he hasn't shut up about it. He needs to go get some bitches or something.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
