Econ Professor Speculates Opportunity Cost Of Saying "Dude" Or "Bro" In Conversation

In more Piazza news, professors are now consulting their students so that they can stay up to date on all the hip new lingo. Oh, professors – they’re just like us! They may seem intimidating when they grade you on a bell curve, but they're really just looking for the appropriate vernacular to use at their Passover seders. At a holiday dinner with plenty of Manischewitz wine, this economics professor may have fallen victim to some drunk Piazza activity. But even if that's true, it wouldn't be the worst we’ve seen this week. So don’t worry, professor – we know you don’t teach linguistics, so we’ve made a list of some phrases that all the young people are into:

• dude
• bro
• dudebro
• groovy
• baller
• saying “not!" after something that isn’t true
• rad
• swaggy (but not swaggie)
• hella

Here’s a sample sentence:

“The Pharaoh is being hella inflexible in his rad discussions with this other groovy dudebro – it’s pretty baller. Not!”

UTB would provide you with a problem set to adapt to this new slang, but come on, bro. We know that extra homework just isn’t swaggy, dude.
