    An ex once told me her mother wasn’t a fan because talking to me was like talking to a thesaurus.

    Yeah, well, Donna, your daughter decided to start fucking me because I was the only person who could consistently beat her at words with friends.

      I had a girlfriend try to make me speak differently because I embarrassed her by using big words in front of others. The company you keep eh?

      There’s an episode of Northern Exposure where a young woman says to Ed “give me your words” in a very sexual way. It’s outrageously funny, and simultaneously insightful.

      If you’ve never watched it, the writers are all about studying people, warts and all. Very thought-provoking.
