a large general topic such as philosophy or history. Hinduism. Taoism. Buddhism. Confucianism. Zorastorianism. Islam…and the sweet twins of Judaism and Christianity. The names of the world’s major religions. Then we come to the lone contribution of Western Civilization. "Lone" is another word for only or single. Voila, Long Island ice tea. This is a popular French word that basically means "and there it is." We were in Bennet’s Kierkegaard class. A well known German philosopher. Must have made a big impression on you. "To make a big impression on" a person is to act in such a way that they will not easily forget them (Note that the pronoun "I" is dropped from the beginning of the sentence, which is a common practice). I’m getting a refresher; Anyone want anything? :: I’m cool. "To refresh" a drink is to fill up the glass again, and thus a "refresher" is another glass (though this is rare). In this case, "I’m cool" is a way of saying "No thank you, I’m not thirsty." Why did I come? :: You’ll live to tell. If a person "lives to tell," they survive something horrible or dangerous (In this case, the reunion). Are you Speaker of the House yet? :: I’m a forensic anthropologist. A "Speaker of the House" is the leader of the House of Representatives in the US Congress or other political body.

In this case, "a honey" is a girl, but this is rare and silly. If someone is "lined up," they are ready to go (In this case, ready to go out with Dave). Bro, I’m so full-on amped about this chick, man. :: You’re already dead in the water. "Bro" is short for brother, and a way friends may refer to each other. "Full-on amped" is a very slangy way of saying extremely excited (An "amp" is a unit of sound). A "chick" is a slang word for a young woman, and "man" is a very common and slangy filler word that has no real meaning. If a person is "dead in the water," they are probably going to fail at what they wanted to do. You’re road kill. :: What are you guys talking about?
