I'm an artform?

[vilakins]

You are Poetry.
You are often the most emotional of the arts. You
are introverted, in that you tend to let people
come to you rather than trying to get their
attention. You get along well with Music and
Literature.

What form of art are you?

Closer than the others, but I'm a bit more prosaic.

I came out as that too, but as usual at least one answer I was looking for was absent, namely "what the hell's a Tootsie Pop?" I wish whoever writes these things would realise brand names aren't international....

Tootsie Pops

It's that 'divided by a common language' thing again. The problem with trying to be international is that Americans usually don't know the terms used in other countries any better than folk from other countries know American terms.

A Tootsie Pop is a sucker or lollipop (flavored boiled sweet on a cardboard stick) wrapped around a piece of Tootsie Roll (which can best be described as really chewy chocolate caramel). And the 'how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop' is from one of their old ad campaigns.

As my fandom's canon would say, no problem. Call it a lollipop - we all know that one.....

Except that there isn't any 'list of words that everybody knows' that we all have to refer to. It's no more reasonable, and possibly less so, to expect the author to (a) know whether you and all her other readers know what a lollipop is and (b) lose the cultural significance of her question, which is tied to the brand name, than it is for you to ask somebody what a Tootsie Roll is. I ask my UK friends what their words and brand names mean all the time; it's not that hard to do, and it's interesting besides.
