Ah. The monosyllabic nature of "arts" makes sense at last.
First-Year Girl #1: Remember Adam from high school? I talked to him last night for the first time in forever.
First-Year Girl #2: Oh yeah? Where does he go?
FYG #1: Queen’s.
FYG #2: What program is he in?
FYG #1: Ummm ... What’s that big word?
FYG #2: What, like, "science"?
FYG #1: (giggles) I know, SCIENCE! Don’t be stupid. No, it’s the one where you, like, build stuff?
FYG #2: Engineering?
FYG #1: Yeah, that’s totally it!

Oh wow...
London Central Secondary School? What are the girls' names?
Dumbass 1 and Not-so-dumbass 2
Of course the entire smarminess of the title is destroyed by the fact that the faculty is actually called "Arts and Humanities".
Did LCSS have an Adam that went to Queen's? I don't remember any =/ And clearly I know everyone.
I don't know an Adam from LCSS that went to Queens.
Wait, people were trying to figure out who it was? How about the fact that engineering is a "big word"? Maybe books (hey that's a short word) should contain monosyllables. Wait...that's a big word. Crap. I'll need my english to arrested-development- english dictionary.
