quiver

A term used by skiers to refer to the collection of different skis that you own, allowing you to choose the best ones for the snow conditions. If you own a quiver of skis, you're probably a more serious and dedicated skier than if you own just one pair.

"My quiver includes Rossi carvers for the groomers and Atomic fatties for the powder, and I'm thinking of adding some all-mountain skis for those in-between days."

sporcle effect

An effect particular to people who frequently play quiz games on sporcle.com, whereupon they easily remember obscure facts but forget glaringly obvious ones.

Oh this is great, the Sporcle Effect in full form here. I remembered Kyrgyzstan and Papua New Guinea, but not the friggin' UK!
