Russian history lesson

An anecdote or fact someone tells to make him/herself look like he/she actually knows something. Comes from Star Trek TOS, in which Ensign Pavel Chekov says that basically everything is a "Russian inwention" and why, leading to Kirk, in one episode whilst Sulu is launching into a complicated anecdote about Siberia, to announce that "if he wanted a Russian history lesson, he would have brought Mr. Chekov along".
Me: Oh, look. Flowers.

You: Oh yes, those are crocuses, the only flower that can grow in snow. I have a friend who genetically engineered crocuses and planted them on the moon-

Me: Please spare me the Russian history lesson.

You: (have just been owned)

lesborotic

Whereas homoerotic is considered to be only guyxguy because girlxgirl is generally considered to be just erotic, lesborotic also carries the negative girlxgirl social stigma. Basically, some girls will not compliment other girls' physical features because of the fear they'd seem to be a lesbian.
I was going to compliment you on your weight loss, but I didn't want it to be lesborotic.
