shibboleth used by
poseurs attracted to the appearance of intelligence rather than actual intelligence. People genuinely attracted to intelligence know that the word “intelligence” is derived from the Latin “intelligere”; that the Latin participle for wisdom is “sapiens,” not “
sapio”; and that the Latin “sapio” means something that tastes good.
I totally identify as a sapiosexual so I find that guy with
the bowler hat and handlebar mustache
banging out his screenplay at the coffee shop on his Royal typewriter while sipping his no-foam, decaf,
soy latte and stroking his monkey totally hot. What? No, seriously. He’s got a for real monkey. He must be smart.
