academia

And once in a while, after all the hosh posh fluff of freudian and lacanian interpretations, of jungian archetypes, of hermeneutic (a word that relates solely to the academic context) codes, and the realization that the rest of the population lives perfectly happy lives ignorant of all these things... the academia, to fight back, invents yet another new word to isolate themselves even more from the common, ordinary, banal, characterless, commonplace, conventional, dull, fair, familiar, generic, habitual, homespun, household, humble, indifferent, inferior, mean, mediocre, modest, normal, pedestrian, plain, plastic, prosaic, quotidian, routined, run-of-the-mill, second-rate, simple, so-so, stereotyped, undistinguished, uneventful, unexceptional, uninspired, unmemorable, unnoteworthy, unpretentious, unremarkable, usual world. Nay, they write yet another ten books full of phallic notions to interpret yet another obsolete, bucolic, 18th century sonnet.
