Whazzup Everybody! Do you know that there are things we know but we really don't know? I mean you know that it is there, it's very common to all of us but you don't know what it is?
I was asked by a friend about what the little ball at the tip of a ballpoint pen is called. I know that there's a very tiny ball attached attached to it but I don't know what its called, I just replied "ball". Do you know what its called? I bet you know but like me you don't know what it's called. So I googled about things we know but we don't know. Here are some common things I found. Scroll down and learn something new from something not new.
1. GRIFFONAGE

4. CORNICIONE
The raised rim of the pizza
This is what most non-pizza-obsessed folks call the "crust." But of course pizza freaks know that the entire bready base of the pizza is the "crust," so we need a special term to talk about just the rim of the pizza. Why call it that way it's difficult to memorize... I still prefer calling it "crust" hahahaha!
