Work last night sucked kinda. But I had some fun with the customers. I had a couple tables going " We don't want you to leave yet, we were having so much fun!" and I just had a crowd of people looking for me all night. That's one of the more emotionally rewarding things about my job. It makes me feel more appreciated and that I do my job well as an entertainer.
I don't know, but we had thirty minute breaks today and we had some heated conversations. For some reason someone started talking about culture. And then someone started talking about their parents. And then sooner than you know it, bam, religion talk once again. I stood up and went to pee as soon as that happened. But peeing only lasts so long. I came back in the heat of the discussion and they started asking me questions. Good thing I am good at negating conversations away from myself when there are others because they were asking some hard core crap that I did not know how to counter.
Thomas was one of them none the less. And he was just going at it and man, he was really determined to tell every one that Christianity was THE religion or something. He shot down buddha and alla right then and there and said they are going to hell. But not directly.
I interrupted, and I told him " Thomas, you're a damn Chauvinist!". Thomas looked at me all confused. His football jock head didn't know what that meant. Jeff was there thankfully, because he was the only one who understood what that meant and started laughing at me because I was so out of place in that conversation as soon as I said that word. Out of the seven of us that were on break, two of us knew what that word meant. I felt like such a nerd, but I thought that was an appropriate term.
It's so weird how I pull these terms out of my ass at the right time.
I remember when I used the word "coitus". That was awkward. I don't even know how it came about.

That's actually the first time I've heard the word chauvinist used in a real life context. lol. bravo! (I was going to say brava but it appears to be reserved for women)
Thanks! I know right? I've only heard it on Family Matters when Harriet called the car sales man a "Male Chauvinist pig". Aside from, the class room is where it's been said a million times, and hasn't left.
Want to know how to make "coitus" even more awkward (or, secretly, fun)? Follow it with "interruptus".
That Thomas guy needs a big cup of shut-the-hell-up. I hear it's almost always served with an ass-kicking. Sooner or later, he will piss off the wrong person (militant Islamist, maybe). Of course, that person will likely get charged with a hate crime. But it would be fun to watch.
