20 things you maybe didn’t realise you don’t know.

[Cartus]

I’ll make that 21 as I learnt the other day that the French have a word for the 'wake' a perfume makes as the wearer walks past - 'sillage'.

[mj4456]

I got a few I already knew, a couple I’ve stored away, and the rest, well, gone away already.

 

[ancient_mariner]

I knew 3, 6, 11, 12 and 18.

 

[Tigger.ufo]

2,3,6 and 19 for me.

... Oh, and I knew 21 as well!

[Box Brownie]

Zero till now ,but I wont remember any by the overmorrow

[Nod]

Just remember to test yourself again in a sennight

That and overmorrow are both the literal translations of the Greek for them.

 

[arclight]

I only got one ..the tine.

Tine is also the name for the individual "spikes" on a stag's antlers. I have known that for over 50 years..... so there !

 

[Cagey75]

3, 6, 12, 18 for me, no idea why, maybe I've seen similar lists in the past and now imagine that I always just knew these things The next time I see someone post up similar I can then pretend I know them all

 

[Bebop]

Only 3 and 6 for me. I'd have thought tine was fairly well known.
