I learned what an enema was by reading Stephen King's (Richard Bachman's) The Long Walk. Never heard the term before, had to look it up. In a dictionary. Made of paper. Ah, the old days.

And my Dad spoiled the surprise of the book for me.
When he gave it to me (he was in printing, he took books that should be pulped and then took them back after we'd read them) he said, "This is a great story about a game show where teenage boys walk until they can't walk any more. Only one boy wins. And he is the only survivor. If you can't walk you're killed."

I still enjoyed the story though.
So. I bet you didn't know that.
