It was just one of those things that never really came up when I was a kid, you know? Seems like such an easy thing to know, but I didn't even realize till I was at a friend's house and we needed one for something. I kept going, "Where's the skovoroda?" and my friend kept looking at me like I was crazy until I was finally like, "That's not English, is it?"
