I know it has a "c" and the letters "chous" at the end..?

"Daisy looked at Tom frowning, and an indefinable expression, at once definitely unfamiliar and vaguely recognisable, as if I had only heard it described in words, passed over Gatsby's face." p. 77

Nick does this a lot... he describes things he sees, but in the absolute vaguest sense ever. even he isn't quite sure how to describe what he's seeing, so he tells the reader that. it's very unhelpful. I understand what he's talking about, so I guess it's effective, but nonetheless, it's frustrating. I want to know how things look too, not just that Nick can't put it into words because he can't recognize it himself. it reminds me of what happens to me on tests (prime example: today's Bio test). since I have a photographic memory, I can see what the answer is, but I can't read it. it's almost like the hemispheres of my brain aren't connecting. so I recognize what the answer is, but I can't translate that recognition into intelligible descriptions. maybe that's sorta what's happening here?
