If you use the word "postmodern" more than once during class discussion, you are likely full of crap.

Hehe.

Personally, in my view, if you use it once, you're full of crap. I guess postmodernism didn't exist when i was in uni because the first time i encountered anyone using it was this dweeb on a discussion forum who was always prattling on about postmodern this and postmoderm that. I had no idea what he was on about and he got tedious very quickly.

Agreed. Ever since I read about the Sokal Affair, I've been unable to take po-mo seriously.
