    Common knowledge definitely. I even remember how many inches in a meter or centimeters per inch and other useless facts.

    i thought that was called a flooglebinder?

    EDIT: found my answer

    The origin of the term "Flooglebinder" is the film Cocktail in which Tom Cruise is attempting to find a definitive word for the plastic coating at the end of a shoelace. The actual term for the plastic tip of a lace is an aglet.
