Los Vidados
n.
the half-remembered acquaintances you knew years ago, who you might have forgotten completely if someone hadn’t happened to mention them again—friends of friends, people you once shared classes with, people you heard stories about, who you didn’t know well but who still made up the fabric of your intense little community—making you wonder who else might be out there somewhere, only just remembering that you exist.
Spanish los olvidados, “the forgotten”—but not completely. Pronounced “lohs vee-dah-dohs.”
