40+ Ridiculously Obvious Facts People Learned Way Too Late In Life
With all the things that people come up with every day, even geniuses would have a hard time keeping up. Jokes, idioms, and word shortcuts are all over the world and you're bound to be confused once in a while.

This is when gaps in obvious knowledge exist. What's worst is that sometimes we are only able to bridge those gaps when we're adults.
