That one word you hear that's special

Two separate words for me are savor and linger.

In the past few years I have noticed that a few select words I hear, or read, have special meanings and trigger a memory for me. It is a signal to me that my past conversations were meaningful, I was truly listening to the speaker, and later recalled it. I feel a connection to anyone who uses these words, as if it has a secret message especially for me.

Do you have a word or two that makes you sit up and pay attention when you hear it?

Remember. You know you or what you did have not been forgotten when someone says "Remember"

Mine isn't a word exactly, it's my name.
It's like a hook
If someone uses my name when talking to me it really draws me to them.
