Shut Up, Biotech

A Slate piece today extolls the virtues of the great OverheardInNewYork.com, which has now gotten so popular that it contains dozens of entries per day. The Slate piece shares one of the better bits ever on the site:

Dumb teen: Hey, look at this! It says 'Train for jobs in beeyotch.'
Smarter teen: Fool! That word is biotech. Why you gotta be ignorant all your life?
The site yesterday, meanwhile, had an item of particular interest to you Yankee-haters out there.

I just wanted to let you know that Biotech has become one of the insults of choice in the Sichel residence. One usage and it stops any argument immediately, reducing arguers to wobbling piles of hahaha.

apparently now there is also Overheard in Philly, which, like much about Philly, is a pale imitation of Overheard in NY.
