6. I didn't see it. Is that how come so many know it?
I thought only English majors would know it.

20. Anyone who saw the movie walked away with the word and definition.
It's a featured scene when Jennifer Connolly character is banished to a dungeon where people could be "forgotten".

32. Take the clue literally.
