Someone was complaining that I use too many Economics terms in real life. For example:

Friend: *shows me picture of rope bridge* Would you cross it?
Me: I'm a believer in efficient markets - if that bridge were going to break, it would've broken already.
Friend: What if you're the one to clear the market?
Me: Too bad.

In my defence, that other person was an economics major as well, and that seems to be a common and acceptable setting in which to do so. Other terms which pop up: "transaction costs", "sunk costs", "I want to clear the market" (in relation to printing at Business just on principle)

Someone: i was going to say yes. use it when i wannaa be an ass
­just like how you just demostrated
haha

Someone else: well if entropy of system, of which logic of my conversation is a subset of, does not cross into the right hand side of the jw axis and create instability, i might...
however, true to form as engineer
i usually assume wat i cannot simplify n b as brief n as short as long as dey r nt incmprhnsble

Someone (2): it just filters out the dumbasses from ur life
for instance when i say: i think she's quite the feminist.

no im not tryin to be proud here, but well, yeah it is interesting to use ivory-towered vocab in real life to elicit some entertaining responses

Lawyer: of course
any reasonable person would
