Season 4, or 5, or something, of The Hills just ended.  I can't actually count all the way to 5 anymore without significant effort - such is the effect of direct exposure to The Hills.  Hopefully it will wear off in a few minutes.  But the Suze, like all women, is without defense to its wiles.  Is that a sentence? Words are hard right now.

Listen: I'm getting to a point.  One good thing came out of the Hills.  It is below, in the following clip, courtesy of The Soup.



"This is crazy that all this is happening while Lauren is gone."

What is that a euphemism for? Watch the clip again, and it will be clear.  It is a euphemism for "I am too dumb to understand what you are talking about so I must deflect attention to a completely different topic."  Somebody gettin' all up in your grill about superstring theory?  Got bitches all over you wanting to talk about the difference between covalent and ionic bonds?

It is crazy that all this is happening while Lauren is gone.

Of course, the power of this phrase (mantra) goes beyond simple misunderstanding.  Use it to deflect uncomfortable political or religious conversations.  What is your opinion on gay marriage? Do you think that we should be using taxpayer dollars to bail out private industries?  Do you accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior?

It is crazy that all this is happening while Lauren is gone.
