Advertised online: “14 Flirt Lines from a Ph.D.” Seriously, who thinks that’s a good idea? What are they? “You’re the Watson to my Crick?” “Your eyes put me in mind of a top-notch disquisition on Wittgenstein delivered in Düsseldorf last academic year?”
Sometimes my friends are pretty funny. This is one of those times where an entire post is based on the status ramblings of a much wittier friend and their friends. So whether you call them pick-up lines, chat-up lines or “flirt lines” this post is entirely dedicated to a little exploration.
Here are some of the other lines that the original status precipitated…
“Have you ever considered transgressing prescribed structures of sociocultural negotiation?”
“If I hadn’t read my Lyotard, baby, I’d think your world of discourse was self-legitimating!”
Thermal Conductivity: Baby, let your warm love flow through my copper body.
Thermodynamics: Baby, you’re so hot you’d make water boil instantly.
Quantum: If I am an electron in ground state, then you Ionize me every time you touch me! You excite me so much that my eyes glow violet everytime I see you!
