there are a lot of things i say that people absolutely do not understand and then i need to give them a few minute lecture on what it means.

for instance, we have a fantasy tea party thing going on at work soon and my coworker is really excited that she's working it, so i said "ah, calloo callay!" and the look of confusion i received was palpable.

spent the next little while explaining that it was from a nonsense poem in the sequel to alice in wonderland called jabberwocky and that i knew what it was because we had a unit about alice in wonderland in creative writing back in high school. didn't help the look of confusion that much.

@beardalaxy
What do you mean, that Alice in Wonderland has a sequel?
