Time: last night, around 11:00 p.m.
Scene: A Citizen Cope concert at The Showbox at the Market.
Girl 1 stands next to girl 2 and waves her hands in the air like she just doesn’t care. Boy 1 (actually only boy in story) turns and begins mocking the dance moves of girl 1.
Girl 1 and girl 2 begin loudly expressing their dismay at boy’s mocking imitation.
Girl 2: oh you have some GREAT moves!
Girl 1 (yells): She was being facetious; do you know what that means?
Boy 1 mocks girl 1 longer then whips around: Oh no the hot girls (points with exaggeration at the girls 1 and 2) don’t like me! Ha! The hot girls: I was being facetious!!
Girl 1 in aside to girl 2: well at least in that context he did use facetious correctly…
Dammit Seattle you’ve ruined me! My book nerd/ word obsessed little heart will never be happy anywhere else now I know there’s a city where people use SAT words to drunkenly insult each other. Buy me a working umbrella, it looks like I'm here for the long haul.
