For Instance, I Could Learn What “Audacity” Means

Preppy girl #1: Where’s that Obama book?
Preppy girl #2: The Audacity of Hope?
Preppy girl #1: Yeah, that one.
Preppy girl #2: Why do you want that? It’s not like you’re gonna read it.
Preppy girl #1: I know, but I feel like if I did, I’d be a lot smarter, you know?
