embarrassing vocabularies of past lives

JT: How do we describe this thing? "Moving?" "Adjusting?" "Dynamic?"

SD: No. I hate that word.

JT: God, so do I. It reminds me of college. You know those words you overused in college that make you embarrassed every time you say them?

KT: Like "irony?"

SD: Oh, irony's more than just college.

JT: No, like "unremarkable." "Unevocative."

SD: That's Chicago for you. Words to describe apathy.

JT: They're actually from the UMass years.
