A character (often The Ditz) encounters a word or phrase, and makes some comment expressing what he thinks about the thing the word refers to — just before revealing that actually, he doesn't know the word at all. ("Lorem Ipsum is terrible! By the way, what's Lorem Ipsum?") The thing in question just might turn out to be a Henway. Examples of I've Heard of That! What Is It? include:

abstract
  • A character (often The Ditz) encounters a word or phrase, and makes some comment expressing what he thinks about the thing the word refers to — just before revealing that actually, he doesn't know the word at all. ("Lorem Ipsum is terrible! By the way, what's Lorem Ipsum?") If the character doesn't outright imply that he knows what the thing is, but is willing to venture a guess, that guess will likely be Is It Something You Eat? While that trope overlaps with this one, it generally involves an honest uncertainty, while this one is about dishonest certainty ("Of course I know that gazebos are something you eat.") The thing in question just might turn out to be a Henway. Sub-Trope of Feigning Intelligence, although the feigning is usually quite brief before the character admits she really doesn't know what she's talking about. Not to be confused with Malaproper, which is when the character misuses words without knowing that he don't know what the words mean (honest, but false, certainty). Completing the quadrangle is Obfuscating Stupidity, which is dishonest uncertainty/ignorance. Examples of I've Heard of That! What Is It? include:
