Girl on cell: Oh my God, I am like so uncoherent today.
--Washington Square Park
Overheard by: Athens Mol
Girl: I've been busy dissertationing.
--Columbia University
Overheard by: Gina Costanza
Drunk guy: The thing about the next big thing is that it's going to be the next big thing.
--The Gate, Park Slope
Overheard by: Carrie
Woman: It's not obvious enough that you couldn't say it, but it was obvious enough that you had to start with "it goes without saying"?
--Barnes & Noble, Astor Place
Chick on cell: I was like, "Oh?" And she was like, "Blah, blah, blah."
And I was like, "Huh?"
--79th & 1st
Overheard by: Alan Cross
Teen girl: Yeah, I always have trouble with 7's for some reason...They are really hard letters.
--M57 bus
Overheard by: Avital
Woman: What, no English? You don't speak English? Why you say you don't speak English? You know what motherfucker means!
--2 train
Dude: Yeah, that guy thinks he's oblivious.
--Union Square
Overheard by: Tannen Printz
Doorman guy: Do you think I'm stupid because I work here? I know a lot of big words.
--16th & 3rd
Elle Ron Hubtard: I don't want to put words in your mouth or anything, but...
--Times Square station
Man: You know how when you're disappointed, you feel let down because something that you expected to happen, didn't happen; like, it didn't happen as appointed? That must be the original meaning of disappointed, how it was used in the past. Like "ruthless". You never hear anyone today talk about having ruth, but in the past they must have used it like that.
--R train
Teen girl: Wait, what's the intifada? Wait, do any of you speak Spanish?
--F train
Overheard by: Brooklyn Dodgy
Dude on cell: See, we were what you call the escape goats...You ever heard that expression?
--35th & 8th
Overheard by: Jenny O'Brian

--58th & 9th
Overheard by: Jess McGins
Teen girl: That guy was femininish.
--George Washington Bridge bus station
Overheard by: Jarett Wieselman
