Meaning: intimately known Rewrite 1: know it like the moles1 on my chest Rewrite 2: know it like the frown lines on my (spouse's) forehead Rewrite 3: know it like the scent of my (lover's) favorite perfume Rewrite 4: could recognize it in a crowd like a mother bird knows a chick's chirp Rewrite 5: could pick him out of a lineup of identical twins
Comment: In the last rewrite, I wanted to use "look-a-likes" for its alliterative qualities, but isn't it redundantc to say "a lineup of look-a-likes"?
