who can pass up the opportunity for some latin?
Not me. Especially because I only know a handful of latin phrases.
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
ChiKat, the blank stares wouldn't happen in DC. That's the kind of stuff people love.
You and juliana now must come to DC. Socialising can be fun if you don't take it too seriously.
I found it refreshing that at my brother's wedding in Holland, I chatted with probably 50 people and no one asked what I did.
This is why I love Europe.
BWAHHAHAHAH, Jessica!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I don't think it's invasive to discuss my job, I just don't want it to be defining.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Poor people who got ahead worked hard. Therefore, hard work is what gets one ahead. Double therefore, non-hard work is what causes a lack of getting ahead.
Also that people who are ahead must've deserved it/have knowhow etc. Wasn't there a line in "If I were a Rich Man" that said something about it not mattering if his answers to the people who came seeking advice were right or wrong because people assume that when you have money you must know something?

Now tagless for your comfort.
There's a scene in the doc Born Rich where some obnoxious titled adolescent objects to Americans asking people what they do within moments of meeting. He acts as if it's an invasion of the deepeset privacy. Moreover, one apparently should be able to tell what a person "does" (i.e., does he or she have money) by their accents, their interests, their topics of conversation, etc.
I saw that. That guy is a great, big asshole. I'll bet his tailor is the only person who can remotely tolerate him.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Kristin, I saw that about a month ago. It was very interesting.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Well, because his tailor gets to stick pins into him with impunity. I would be able to tolerate a lot of verbal abuse for that kind of opportunity.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

True, true. But not taking it seriously is much like being a fly on the wall, yes?

Exactly. But I've got just enough capital to get us into the places and events where it would be worth our while.

Those games are fun. I come out all class mixy on all of them. It seemed pretty obvious to me which answers/items equated with various class labels.
