I tried "parsek" as a total joke, recalling Han Solo's brag from Star Wars. When it wasn't accepted, I figured it was some fancy, shmancy scientific term I had never heard of before but was about to learn about. When I saw the next answer started with "C", I went back and tried "parsec". DING-DING-DING!
How that one line from Star Wars came to mind right off the bat, I have no idea.
WTF, I was genuinely listening to Ironic when the question came up, what are the odds? There's some conspiracy material right there. Quick, where's my tinfoil hat?
