Friend: So wait, you told him you couldn't hang out because you were entertaining a friend from out of town who is visiting you in the city?
Me: Yeah, but now he is suggesting all these places that makes sense for us to go and I think he wants to meet us there, isn't that great? He's totally into me now! But do you think you could pretend to be from out of town?
Friend: This is ridiculous, why do you need to regatta gala this guy! If he's into you, just tell him the truth!
Me: Omg, you're right! He's totally getting regatta gala-ed! Don't wear something hot, okay?
