You’ve probably been going through your whole life simply assuming that the foam on a beer was just called “foam” or that the bottom of a wine bottle was just called “sadness,” but you would be wrong.
There are actual names for these things that will not only make you sound smart, but will help you crush your enemies while playing Scrabble.
