So, you think you’ve got a pretty good grasp on The Big Lebowski? Well, after watching it for the thousandth time with some close bros and white Russians, you probably do.

Still, we bet there’s something in this trivia primer that you didn’t know, hadn’t considered, or just won’t believe—from the rate of expletives to the real-life inspirations for Walter Sobchak to an eerie coincidence of history. But it’s the rug, of course, that ties everything together.

You see what happens? You see what happens when you think you’re an expert on a movie?
