It's funny you should mention that. While I was attending my bee a few weeks ago, the term "fussy cut" came up and one of our long-time quilters asked what it meant. A few women were surprised that she didn't know it because she'd been quilting for many years. It turned out that several other quilters weren't familiar with it either. So you see, it's nothing to be embarrassed about. You're not the only one and if no one ever asked about these things a lot of people would just not learn what they are.
