I forgot -
During the Latin program, a well-liked person had to leave early, so the people in my room hosted a farewell get-together with brats and a lot of beer and wine, and by the end of the night everyone was standing around pretty drunk while people played popular music on YouTube, which the classicists would then sneer at...
For example, one was like, "Oh, he wrote all the crappy songs from the past 10 years," when I listed off Max Martin songs as a Max Martin song was playing, and I had to tell them to try to write a chart-topper that everyone knows.
Then, when I put on "Wasted" by Gucci Mane, everyone made fun of that too.
"Come on," I was like, "These lyrics are golden", and I then recited along with the song the lyrics:
party party party/
let's all get wasted...
"I'd like you to write lyrics as good as that," I was like. "Go ahead and try, you think it's easy and the words are so simple, but it's not, it's not at all."
And at that, one guy realized I was making fun of everyone and nodded was like, "It's like the Latin of Cicero."
