Is the definition given on this page now universally accepted? During the big debates over "common link questions" in 2011 the term was used to refer to, most famous, a tossup on "Roman women" that was just a series of social history clues from a Roman history textbook. In practice, the people who disliked these questions did not use the term to refer to "a word or phrase that happens to be common to several distinct entities that are otherwise unrelated and not linked by a theme of any significance" but rather to "any answer line that is not the name of a single person, place, or book."
