Intelligent, often irreverent and irrepressible.

comment Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors - what category?
@Marcin: The use of freshman, etc came directly over from England in the mid 1700's. straightdope.com/columns/read/1982/… sigh, someday I'll remember to hit shift + enter when typing a comment here, but apparently not today They're one of those 'English peculiarities' that we've kept. For high school students, however, they're still commonly referred to as '9th graders, 10th graders, etc' and not just 'freshmen, etc'.

comment In baseball, is it proper to pluralize “RBI”?
You could also say he had one RBI, or three RBIs. I've heard it pronounced the 'long way' R B I, or short 'n sweet: ribi/ribis
