V: A student just used "prelapsarian" in discussion. I want to punch these english majors.
A: Did they even use it correctly? I mean, absent specifically talking about Adam & Eve, I'd be too nervous that I'd use it incorrectly and people would laugh at me. (Though considering I think that maybe 56 people know/use that word, I'd likely be safe.)
V: I mean, yeah, cause we're talking about adam and eve. But she made it seem like there more than two prelapsarian people....Now she threw in "postlapsarian". Everything is postlapsarian!!! Even for Princeton, she's pretentious.
A: Ha, you should now throw in "preantepentultimate" and leave everyone gasping at your pretentious audacity. Yes we can!!
