Awkward Homophones

Sitting in a bar, talking to a few fellow SU folks about speech and words that are used pejoratively, etc. One person was a self-described 'grammarian', which I had never heard before. It reminded me of words like 'contrarian', 'bavarian/bavarian' or my personal favourite, 'pastafarian'. Before I had time to think it through, my Dionysian plied tongue already started saying something along the lines of, "Why is everything becoming an '-arian'?"

Not one of my best moments, but hey, it's what I do - fail to think things through and fulfill the role of comedic patsy. And my timing couldn't have been better, since this entire discussion stemmed from talking about white privilege, the Racism Free Edmonton campaign, and it's recent controversy.

So to recap - I ran into trouble with homophones (not the first time) and opened my big mouth, hilarity ensued, and we moved on.

Normally, I have a no-beer-if-I'm-with-important-people rule, which I broke tonight >.<
Never again.
