Nerd trap

Making a reference to sci-fi/fantasy or comic books in which you purposely mix up the wrong character or facts to get a nerd to correct you.

Bill: "Hey Larry, did you know Boba Fett's first appearance was in an episode of Mork and Mindy?"

Nerd; "No it wasn't!" "It was on the Star Wars Holiday Special."

Bill: "Nerd trap!!!"
