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

        Nine...

        I dispute #4. The proper term is borborygmus.

        @bachophile will corroborate.

        I also dispute #11.

        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

                    Only non-witches get due process.

                        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

                              I must be the only one familiar with chew toys....
