Composed of 豆(まめ) (bean; by extension, small/miniature) + 知識(ちしき) (knowledge). The 豆(まめ) prefix conveys smallness — these are bite-sized pieces of knowledge, not deep expertise. Very common in TV shows, websites, and social media content, often presented as lists of surprising or practical facts.

トリビア: trivia — the English loanword, often used for quiz-style factoids
裏技(うらわざ): hidden trick; life hack — focuses on clever techniques rather than knowledge
