I’ve been invited to fill in a survey on my experiences as a student. The email says I am from a “unique group of students”. I think this might be a polite way of saying “you’re really old for a student”.
I am amused by the phrase ‘unique group’. If unique, then by definition not a group. If they meant ‘small group’ why didn’t they say so. Fancy word syndrome strikes again.
I have a Melb Uni tshirt with ‘minimise sesquipedalian circumlocutions’ written across the front. I cherish it.
I want one. A quick google search revealed that I can buy many tshirts with just the word sesquipedalian on it in a variety of fonts but not that tshirt :( can you still get them or no?

It was from the early 2000s. Doubt if MelbUni has them anymore. I got it from their shop on campus, even though I wasn’t a student.
Aw dang, thanks anyway.
old student is when your own daughter is older than the lecturer 😬
I do not have a daughter. Have I discovered the secret to eternal youth?! One weird trick doctors don’t want you to know…
