An English Major is a university student or any literate person who engages in close extensive reading. With their "expertise" in literature, they seem to think that they are experts of language and like to critisize other people's usage of the English language.
Can be applied to any one who judges word usage without at least a master's degree in Linguistics.

So the other day I was like totes and this total English Major was like "Totes? I see... A shorter more convenient form of the word: totally. This word is most commonly used by teenage girls.
The most obvious advantage of using this word is the time saved. Data collected at a prestigious university found that every syllable spoken takes approximately 0.14 seconds.
The same prestigious university also found that the average valley girl says the word totally around 190 times a day."
And I was like yeah umm I gotta go do an analysis in the acoustic phonetics lab. And the English Major was all like acoustic phonetta what?

Get the Englañol mug.When you are spending all of your time with a guy who acts like he is into you. He pays for your meals and holds your hand and tells you how great you are and how pretty you are and sends you mixed messages all the time. But he doesn't want to go any further than that. He just wants a pretty girl to hang out with and make him feel better about himself. This guy either has 1. an overall fear of commitment 2. a FWB with an ugly chick that he can't bring in public 3. can't get over his ex. Possibly all three.
