Me: "I think it's more or less the scourge of the nation."
Coworker:"What's scourge mean? What's that?'
Me: "It's... a blight on our sense of morality."
Coworker:"...What's a blight?"
Me: "....A blemish. A zit. A VERY BAD THING."
Coworker:"Ohh. Okay. I know that one."
....Zero exaggeration.

to this coworker's credit, she was at least honest about not understanding. but holy crap. i wasn't even trying to sound smart or anything. i was so depressed.
