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)

Swan Lesson

The greatest music piece created by mankind.
It came from the Nintendo DS game Art Academy, and is featured in Super Smash Bros for WiiU and Super Smash Bros Ultimate.
An idiot: Gangplank Galleon is da best LUL. There no good music besides that LUL.
Someone with a fonctional brain: Swan Lesson is such a beautiful piece of music. There's still other great compositions, but this one's undefeatable.
