1. (PERSON 1): “I need to know what my English
teacher meant when she said my term
paper was ‘a curious collection of words.’ Did she hate it? Couldn’t ‘curious’ have a positive connotation? I
mean, I’d like to think that curiosity was once a redeemable attribute in children that we mournfully surrender with age...”
(PERSON 2): “Please
chill the $&@! out! You don't know that she doesn't even read half the papers we write!
God, you’re pulling such a Raymi right now. Maybe stop overthinking?”
2. (P1): “After much thought, I’d be honored to write an extensive, thoroughly researched bio for you to be featured on the new website.”
(P2): “That’s wonderful!! When can you get started? What will you write about me? Though your writing
will need some help. Surely you’
ll be sending me proofs so that I can correct your grammar and punctuation. And let's not forget your pedestrian attempts at humor or your flagrant tendencies to end sentences with a preposition. So when do you’
ll think you’
ll be able to start? You have to tell me now so I know when to expect it!”
(P1): “Will you take a breath for $&@!’s sake? If I’d known you’d get all Raymied out on me, I
never would’ve agreed!”
3. (P1): “You know, that new girl at school is so stuck up! Her
parents are getting her a Range Rover, and she doesn’t even
work."
(P2): “Not true. You’re just jealous of her because she speaks her mind truthfully and with kindness. You’re just an ass who tells lies, and she’s a total Raymi.”
