My boyfriend and I have the oddest conversations:
A: “Jewthyphro ~ An extremely [academically oriented] or [booksmart] Jew.
Origins ~ It is a malapropism of "[Euthyphro]", a friend of Socrates' who studied at the [Lyceum] and is generally portrayed as a scholarly figure in keeping with his status in the work as a contemporary and friend of [Socrates]. He claims to have a very broad and deep knowledge of all things pious and impious; which in the specific context means "all things religious and nonreligious". He speaks with Socrates in the first section of Plato's "[The Last Days of Socrates]"
B: * Ostentatiously [Jewish] Friend * ~ So I was reading this book the other day; Fyodor Dostoevsky; Crime and Punishment, have you ever read it? No? Ok, well it's interesting, it really displays the feelings of alienation and stultifyingly ineffective governing in Russia at the time; and at the same time that it serves as excellent and startlingly accurate political commentary, it's also an astonishingly insightful work on how the conscience of man acts on him. You see the real punishment isn't what the government deals him, the real punishment is dealt to Raskolnikov by himself as he agonizes and suffers endless pain over his own guilt.
* Incredulous * ~ . . . Alright Jewthyphro, go talk to Socrates for awhile, maybe he'll understand what you're talking about.”

A: What is the point of this; do you need it for a project or something?
B: No, it just kind of sprung out of nowhere.
A: … <3
