Some odd things I've learned writing fanfic (name that story!):

[sekiharatae]

The best thing to use when polishing/cleaning a sword (the metal kind, anyway) is something called choji oil.  It's a 99% mineral oil to 1% clove oil mix.

Clove oil is an anesthetic.  A q-tip full is enough to deaden the pain of a dry-socket.  Do not use on private parts.

"Berserker" means "bear shirt".

People have sex in a wide variety of odd and awkward positions. (I'm not talking 'innovative' or 'exciting' or even 'different'.  I'm talking contortionist.)

Muscle mass affects how quickly a person will get drunk.  Two individuals of the same height will still get drunk at different rates if one is muscular, and the other stringy (stringy will go down first).

Hair grows at a rate of six inches per year.

"Pent-Up" is supposed to have a hyphen in it, whether I think it needs one or not.

A human woman's scent changes to be more alluring to human men when she is her most fertile.

They actually make special ice cube trays for ice intended to go in a water bottle.

The "Lindy Hop" was named for a cross-ocean flight, although the two otherwise have nothing to do with each other.

There is a type of tango that looks sexy rather than ridiculous.

"Blindsight" isn't just a nifty title, it's an actual word (that turns out to have a great meaning when applied to the story, too).  It means (according to dictionary.com): the ability of a blind person to sense accurately a light source or other visual stimulus even though unable to see it consciously

The latest innovation in male chastity devices looks and sounds very painful.

For something they're so proud of, men are very willing to do odd things to their penis.
