However, since the earlier post, I have found that there appears to be a Greek term for this, defined as:
exoterica (eks-ə-TER-i-ka) — noun: writing, facts, or principles that are widely known (Back of the Cereal Box, 13 February 2011).
Exoterica is the antonym of esoterica. Something that is esoteric is arcane, specialised, or secret knowledge. In-speak, perhaps. Hush-hush.
OK: now I know the name of the term, my job should be done, right? Except no one else will know what this means. Here we have a term about common knowledge, which is not common knowledge. Crikey.My exoterica term is esoteric!
