Catching up on my flist way after the fact - I've heard "rosebud" a million times over in my life, but I didn't know until I got onto google and typed it in that it was in fact a sled. And it wasn't right there, I had to work out it was something from Citizen Kane, then I had to find the Wikipedia entry for Citizen Kane. And the thing that prompted that? An Atlantis fic that ripped it off, with one of the characters saying something else.
New Zealand hasn't screened season 8 of Stargate SG-1 yet, but the US is halfway through season 9. I'm lucky, I've had someone providing me with episodes, but most of my friends? Not so much.
On the other hand, I'm all for smacking people around for things that completely aren't spoilers - the existence of a new cast member, for example, as has been reiterated all over this post. :)
