I know I'm not using the word technically correct but you know what I mean. I'm talking about your weird and sometimes useless talent that allows you to do something really well with no skill or practice.
I am an ETA savant. I can effortlessly come up with an arrival time to any destination no matter how complex the route may be and I'm usually within 5 minutes either way of our actual arrival. I can do it with short trips across town or long trips across country.
Mrs Kool is a boiled egg savant. I'm a decent cook but I can't properly boil an egg to save my life. I've tried many methods including one complicated one that involved split second timing with a quick ice bath in the middle of the boil. Didn't matter the eggs still mostly stuck to the shell. Mrs Kool on the other hand just throws em in a pot and boils them for a indeterminate time. She never sets a timer or even seems to pay any attention to the boil but when her egg boiling savant says take em off she does and they always come out perfect.
