Scene: Trader Joe’s. “She Bop” is on the speakers.
Cashier: “…Do you know who sings this? We were trying to figure it out yesterday.”
Me: “Um… Cyndi Lauper.”
Cashier: “That’s it! Thank you.”
Me: “She bop, he bop, we bop; I bop, you bop, they bop. The only song to teach you how to properly conjugate the verb ‘to bop’.”
And at that point, I really wished I’d paid any attention at all the year I failed Latin in high school. It would have been perfect to attempt to improvise the proper declension of the verb ‘boppare’.
(edit: boppo, boppas, boppat, boppamus, boppais, boppant – thanks to the fine folks at Jaridium Press for that!)
