Crocodile Fact

A useless fact that someone really wants you to know. Usually said when the fact has little to nothing to do with a conversation or in a large gathering of people. Seen by the fact giver as useful information or a party trick to show off smarts.

The term was originally coined by Joinen (An Australian Youtuber) during a twitch live stream. The stream has since been uploaded to his channel under the name WooHoo's MESSED UP "Girl Types"
In the video, Joinen reacts to a girl chasing after another girl, while girl 1 spouts useless facts to girl 2.

Boy: I'm thinking about getting the new iPhone
Girl: Did you know Martin Cooper made the first cell phone call
Boy: No one cares about your Crocodile Fact(s)
