You Know You're A Smithie When.... (encore)

One that’s true and one that amuses me the most and that I pounce upon is use of the word “feel,” as in “I feel that it’s March 15th.”

I’ve nailed several Smithies & recent alumna on silly usages of same. Or else I’ve used it myself in a way to indicate that the premise of the conversation is getting ridiculous.

Btw, I know the tune of “Gaudeamus Igiteur” and can la-la my way through the lyrics, getting some of them right if not in the right location.
Speaking of silly, it’s a silly song (check its provenance) but I have to say that the sound of 750 or so female voices singing it at once is, well, breathtakingly beautiful.
