Made me curious as to what they used to say and looked it up: "eidetic memory"

I checked the comments just to make sure someone mentioned eidetic memory.

The "um achually" approach is to point out that "eidetic" is actually the correct term and that "photographic" is a colloquialism.

Let me offer you the real "um achtually": books were a thing. A literary memory would be a colloquial equivalence to photographic.
