*because, of course, we never say "smart", because that is too common and not eccentric and original enough for drama club. ergo, we say "intelligent", and use latin phrases such as "ergo".
**no one "likes" anything in drama club. like is an interjection. so like, we say "love", instead! like, "don't you just LOVE Regina Spektor?" "I uber LOVE HER because like, she is so original INTELLIGENT and totally isn't shit at singing, no way! rap is crap!" like isn't a strong enough word. so we have to say "Love", and add "uber" for even MORE emphasis, because "super" isn't like, foreign!
***we don't greet each other any other way!
