rany lingo easy to learn It's a well-known fact the ability to impress people at parties is the most important result of a degree in humanities. However, I believe that all you business majors, ag students, and botany students can hold your own with the average junior in integrated studies if you know a few modern techniques. Yes, my friend, if you know nothing more than a few facts and a couple of dozen last names, you can wow that leggy brunette with the wire-rims. It's all a matter of strategy. You must learn the intellectual karate chops, the artful semantic dodges that will savo you :n a discussion of any subject among the semi-lettered. Take art, for example. I could tell you everything I know about art in one minute. However, by chopping up that minute and sticking it in at the right places, I can discuss Impressionism for an hour. ? U irrcaliSTn X existential- Lrrf mark kieldaaard you hove my word Movies are an "in" subject, but I never remember the first thing about a movie for more than one minute after I leave the theater. Even so, I know what "hermeneutics" means and I once heard someone say that Fellini is surrealistic, so I leave lots of people with the distinct impression that I am an encyclopedia of cinema. I also know who Susan Sonntag is, which floors everyone. Politics is simple because v(j;- (:an combine political terms interchang:al)l v. Uocial fascism, democratic tyranny, di;monjtic f.r.cism, and representative anarch , a1 1 pc",l f t'- icceptable. It also is possible to make up quotes from Burke. No one reads Burke a iy more and no one will guess that you are lying, especially if you lie openly and confidently. Know a couple of th"orios that you can plug into everything. Existentialism is a favorite. For our purposes it is enough 'o l-no.v th it existentialism is related to every idea in existence. For instance, there is such a thing as existential psychoanalysis. Even existential psychoanalysts don't understand it, so you know you are safe using it among pseudo-intellectuals. Pronunciation is the deadliest weapon you can carry. People usually mispronounce Yeats, Nabokov, Donne, Rimbaud, Gide, Gaugin, Le Due Tho and Bernstein. If you can correct them, you immediately seem to know more about obscure fingures than anyone else. It is essential that you avoid people who really are educated. Rarely but occasionally you will meet nuts who actually have read Kafka. Lock them in closets, accuse them of indecent exposure, or tell them they smell bad, but do anything to get them away, because they are your enemies. They will destroy you. Be creative. Think deceptively but imaginatively, and you can fake out every half-learned partygoer in the world. Think of the possibilities. The mind boggles.
