familiarities
Liberties taken casually
Familiarities are instances of familiar behavior or intimate knowledge.
The word often carries a negative charge—unwelcome familiarities are liberties taken without permission: He resented the familiarities of strangers who called him by his first name.
In neutral use, familiarities are simply things one knows well: the small familiarities of home.
