Can someone point me to the definition of a "spoiler?"

Spoiler:
5. A published piece of information that divulges a surprise, such as a plot twist in a movie.

Remember that trivia and quizzes are seen before someone makes a decision either to answer or NOT answer them. The question itself can be a major spoiler even if the answer is not attempted and not known.

This can apply to movies or TV shows as well - like revealing who Luke's father is or the ending of Sixth Sense - those are major one. Even sports scores and results - if you're recording a game to watch later and then someone tells you the final score - it ruins or spoils it for you.
I know what the spoiler is on a car, and on a plane, but not on a book. :-)
