There’s this one lecturer who continues to say the funniest things, here are some samples from the last semester:
“Slightly undercooked research.”
“That’s very white male stale.”
 “You're all millennials aren't you? No, okay, tell me this, how do you feel about avocado?” [student remarks that they’re not good for the environment] “Oh my god, that's such a millennial thing to worry about.”
“One of my best friends is dating a man that dresses like a musician but like... has a steady job? Such a millennial.” 
“Harry Potter's not a wizard. Gandalf’s a wizard.” “My toxic masculinity is showing: To be a wizard, you need to fight an orc.” “HARRY POTTER IS NOT A WIZARD!” 
“I can't draw... I probably should have figured that out by now”
“This was like a mic drop moment... That's how you say it, yea? Yea, I'm cool.”
“When Trump's giving a speech, people don't sit there going “Ahhh, there's a ‘the’.” No! They're going “What an idiot.””
“IT CAN’T BE DONE... Well, no wait, I'm wrong, hang on.”
“JK Rowling wanted to tell her story, Joyce wanted to piss off academics for 100's of years.”
“Because I’m a white male that has hair.”
“Rolling delta… if you thought that was confusing… ‘hold my beer’ as they say.”
“I am a Star Wars nerd. Like proper, used to be in a Star Wars costuming group nerd.”
“You’ll get funky errors.”
“I’ll bet it was Conrad, because he wasn’t mental. Ford was a lunatic.”
“Look at these very controversial results! GOOD LUCK!!”
“I’m not sure how to do that. Nobody’s really sure how to do it.”
“I’m gonna use the presidential speeches again because they were on the desktop…… and I’m lazy.”
“All synonyms are not born equal.”
"I don't consider myself- Well, no, actually, more and more recently, I DO consider myself an old man..."
"My Twitter is just... honestly, it's just me ranting about things." "Last night I ran out of milk so I... well... I ranted about how annoyed I was"
"John Borstein is a German researcher that... actually, I don't even know if he’s German. Huh."
"Twitter is where I post work stuff, political stuff, ideas... how to take down the government."
"You don't send an angry email with comic sans."
"IF you were to all describe this pen..."  [stares intensely at the pen for a full 30 seconds]
"If you were to do mapping- I mean, mapping is just, mapping is great, I love mapping, you all know my feelings on mapping- ANYWAY, the point I'm trying to make-”
"Time really goes fast when you... man, time is really subjective, isn't it. Just think about this for a minute. Time. Like. So subjective. It's just based on that physical stuff like the earth circling around something and- anyway, think about it."
"I've seen some of your stuff and some things are pretty good! ... some"
"I think there was a plugin for this a few years ago but I think it died... cause everything does"
"If you get hit by a bus tomorrow, how will your project survive without you?"
“Don’t be stressed… I mean, do be stressed”
“Is Bing a search engine? Oh, it is.”
“They’re not boxers, they’re just gobshites from YouTube.”
“It’s an aesthetic class.”
"Before we clap, when are we having lunch?" 
Guest speaker: I am not sure this is the right time to go into Maths Lecturer: No, not on the first date.
