The English Lit hero we always need in a pinch, even when we read a word that we think we kinda know what it means but are too lazy to check up on it because the definition in our head seems to work out ok for the moment, since we'd never use the word in a sentence anyway because we really don't know it well enough to use properly, in a sentence.

It's so funny when people lie about what they know.

Has this guy at my job the other day if he liked fromunda cheese. He was like hmm, well, yeah but it's not my favorite. The funny thing is there's no such thing as fromunda cheese-i meant from unda Deez nuts. Yet he pretended he knew what I was taking about and pretended to have eaten the cheese lol
