I have heard some amusingly arrogant comments in my classes, but this one takes the cake:

My instructor, a PHD candidate, was explaining indexicality when a graduate student raised his hand.

"Whose defition of indexicality are you using? I studied under Charles Purse."

"I am drawing a little from Purse, but I'm mostly using Michael Silverstein's definition."

"Oh," said the graduate student, "Mike."
