Yes, I know... not everything, but I still have learned a great deal from the show, and by extension, from fanfic and chatting on IRC.
I know there was a satirical list of the same name quite a few years back... not sure where it is now, couldn't find it.
But I had in mind a more serious list. Stuff that I really did learn. And, of course, I'd love to hear what everyone else learned too. I remember Erica telling me on IRC that she had learned a few things... so, without further ado, I'll list what I learned, then it's your turn!
Stradivarius - a well made violin, which I'm assuming means tightly strung... I never had understood what altClark was getting at until I was watching Tempus Anyone with my dad one day... asked him why he laughed at the "Sorry, I'm a little high-strung." "Lady, you're a stradivarius." Now that I know, I think it's a clever quip... not to mention it defines his intelligence and, IMO, seets him apart a bit from our Clark.
How do you spell those darned words... :rolleyes: Only two words come to mind right now, but I know there are more. "Definitely" was one word I'd consistently misspell, only because I was too lazy to look it up when spellcheck did it for me.
I think it was discussed somewhere on IRC one day when I finally got it.
And thanks to LabRat... I once and for all, know how to spell "epiphany" without looking it up.
Fanfic research has brought me to a new level of learning.
I know loads about the Congo, pregnancy, comas, the newspaper business... the list goes on of things I'd never known and might not have ever known (well, except for that pregnancy thing... think I would have figured that out on my own eventually
).
That's all I can think to share right now. I can't wait to read everyone else's responses!
