A lot of people know #18, the 'tittle'...#6, 'tines' of a fork, easy, other than that, none known, none used.

Boy am I stupid, I only knew one, the easy one, tines on a fork, but I've lived 63 years without knowing the other 19, so I think I'll survive!

I only knew two.

The only one I knew was 1, glabella. Im a dermatology nurse and we do glabella botox almost daily 😂

I knew only 4 of these (3, 6, 9, 13). I’m partial to “crapulence.” 😄

I only knew #3.

I think I have a sizable vocabulary, but I confess - I only knew #6.

Just one: tines.

Another word for belly grumbles is borborygmus, one of my fave words ever! (A great example of onomatopoeia). (:

I hadn't heard of most of these, only:

2 - having just read it in Tom Robbins' Skinny Legs And All

3 - seems familiar but I can't think of the context

6 - probably doesn't belong on the list being pretty commonly used.

7 - is familiar to me but I'm not sure how commonly used it may be.

Fun list! But things like the pizza box tent, the cork strap for champaign, the sewn part of an arm hole, and the foot measuring tool of course would all have a name, but with only a small group of people who might have use for it.
