But are you someone who falls into the minority that hasn't been keeping up with the series? Well, it's your time to steer clear from the cluelessness by getting your GOT facts on point.

HBO's award-winning fantasy series has many details, locations, names, plots and subplots, which one needs to be aware of. It is created by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss and is a one-of-a-kind adaptation of the fantasy novel series A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin. It is one of the most commercially successful and yet critically acclaimed series, which revolves around the world made of four continents. The major events, however, take place between two of them, Westeros, also known as the seven kingdoms and Essos, with a solid inclination towards Westeros. The seasons here are two, summers and winters, which last for aeons of years respectively. Hence, this explains "winter is coming" being quoted copious times.

The lingo:
Every show has a typical lingo that becomes a part of the fans' vocabulary. Now that we have already deciphered the significance of the phrase, 'winter is coming', let's delve into other phrases that one needs to be familiar with in order to comprehend the show better.

The Wall

The Wall

The Wall, an imperative location that has history attached to it. About 8,000 years ago, there was a winter known as 'The Long Night'. Using magic and labour, the wall was put in place in order to keep the White Walkers at bay.

The Night's Watch
The Night's Watch came into existence thousands of years ago, after The Long Night to guard the Wall and keep White Walkers out. Since it was a long time ago, people started to believe that white walkers are a myth but the Night's Watch remained. It is symbolised with the colour black and joining the Night's Watch is called 'taking the black'. The Night's Watch has an interesting set of people, the ones who join by choice and others who are given the option to join rather than die.
