Overheard at Orientation (aka: gunner bingo) Forum

[fatduck]

Isn't starting a thread before school even starts about what gunners might say kind of gunnerish?

How so?

Well, your response begs the question of why you are so well prepared for 1L that you have pre-judged your peers based on research you've done on an internet form outside of class.

"begs the question" might be my favorite

Invariably used incorrectly.

Do I get double points for using it correctly in an exam.

Triple points for using except that proves the rules correctly in the same exam?

DF, you're my hero. I had a prof who consistently used begs the question incorrectly on almost a daily basis.

Way too long, didn't read, but nice gag gift for stereotypical philosophy majors.

I know when I'm sliding a narrow piece of fabric between my cheeks, my primary concern is that it was made in USA!

Timeframe: the morning that Legal Writing assignments are passed out and everyone's been in class for the past two hours + about half an hour for lunch.

"Oh, I've already read the first of the two cases for the Legal Writing assignment. I'm such a dork..."

I'm not picking a side but the judges reasoning was just ....

"When I was studying for my masters in psychology..."

Nothing relevant can follow from this. Just stop.

We're mean and cynical people, right?

Asking a "question:"

I understand that you mean A (super long paraphrase)
And I also understand you when you say B (longer paraphrase)
But does that mean that you are saying C? (even longer paraphrase)

Professor: yes.

To be fair, this is my strategy to get the professor to stop calling on me.

Do official Facebook groups count for this bingo? Because someone on the UT page already quoted a book the new UT law dean wrote...

I thought this was funny as well. Then I was pumped they weren't in my section.

I must have missed it. I miss all the good stuff =(

The book is really good. It explains legal/logical concepts to regular people in a way that's super easy to understand. It was one of the only things, if not the only, that I enjoyed reading as a 1L.

QFT. Just one of these in each class can get you a few weeks reprieve from cold call stress.

Also, I heard "when I was working on my thesis..." so many times in 1L, it still makes me kind of sick to think about.

During our first lawyering session today, I think I heard some form of "where do we draw the line" about 8 times.
