        These are great. I love the word 'petrichor', which I learned from watching Doctor Who.

        I was only joking

          Nine...

          I dispute #4. The proper term is borborygmus.

          @bachophile will corroborate.

          I also dispute #11.

          agrafe

          variants: or agraffe

          a hook-and-loop fastening
          especially : an ornamental clasp used on armor or costumes

          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

              If we're being picky, #20 is called a Brannock device.

                      I had heard them all, probably from some similar meme.

                      But unaided awareness? Like you ask me the question cold and I need to answer?

                      Three

                      Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                          Similar, though I don't think I had heard all, just most. The four I could have answered in a pinch? Aglets, Tines, Box Tent, and Minimus...

                            I only knew tines. I suspect that one is an order of magnitude more well known than the rest.

                            Education is extremely important.

                              I knew zero. Another word for #16 is "lazy" 555
