P1: Are you going to write for the school journal again this week? P2: Yeah. Writing under a pseudonym makes me feel like I have the freedom to honestly express myself. P1: Are you going to use the same nom de plume as last time? P2: Nah. It doesn't even write anymore. There's as much spit as ink in that thing. P1: Ugh, that's some epic nomming. Ex 2 P1: Can I borrow your pen? P2: What happened to all of yours? P1: My girlfriend's terrier got into my bag last night and went all nom de plume on them while we were watching Heroes. P2: I think you mean "nom des plumes?" P1: Whatever, just give me a pen. |
