Let me just say, for the record, that I hate trivia games. I’m terrible at them. My mind just doesn’t roll that way. I am in awe of people whose minds do. This includes, “Name That Tune” types of games.

That said, I got an email this morning that was jam-packed with stupid useless trivia stuff. I separated out the language/word/production ones and present them here as undocumented trivia. Do with them what you may. And good luck at your next cocktail party.

“Stewardesses” is the longest word typed with only the left hand ..

And “lollipop” is the longest word typed with your right hand.

No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver, or purple.

“Dreamt” is the only English word that ends in the letters “mt”.

There are only four words in the English language which end in “dous”: tremendous, horrendous, stupendous, and hazardous.

There are two words in the English language that have all five vowels in order: “abstemious” and “facetious.”

TYPEWRITER is the longest word that can be made using the letters only on one row of the keyboard.

A “jiffy” is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second.

The average person’s left hand does 56% of the typing.
