Today's OneWord: Reference

"What's the matter? Don't you get the reference?" "Um...no." He glowers at me from across the table. "It's a Tolkien reference. Tol-kee-en. Are you trying to tell me you don't know what an ent is?" "An ant?" "An ent, you moron. A tree person. There's one named Treebeard." "Oh." I shrug. "Well, that explains it. I don't read books where the author can't think of actually good names for his characters." He's certainly not pleased by that remark.
