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

    I was only joking

      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.
