fun fact
Interesting little nugget
A fun fact is a piece of trivia presented as entertaining or surprising—the kind of tidbit someone shares to spark interest: Fun fact: octopuses have three hearts.
The phrase often introduces genuinely interesting information, but it's also used ironically for mundane or darkly amusing observations: Fun fact: I haven't slept in two days.
