A Venn diabram has to show all possible relations between the sets.
So it would, for example, include a zone in which people think they are first, are first, but are not idiots.

Some time at least 10 years after you graduate,
go back and look at all the girls in your yearbook. You’ll realize that most of the popular girls that everyone thought were all that actually weren’t very special. But there will be a several others that no one ever gave a second thought to that make you say, “Oh my god, so-and-so was totally hot, and I never even noticed.”
High school is weird. It has this strange groupthink aesthetic that is only loosely connected to actual beauty.

But you probably watched that show in reruns on the Disney Channel, not in its original run like me.
Excellent reference nonetheless!
Yes, I watched it on Disney. It’s still my favorite show of all time, though.

It is an excellent show
But for me, still behind Seinfeld, Frasier, Chappelle’s Show and The Fresh Prince. But it’s in the top 5.

I would be insulted
but I have felt old lately, so I’ll take it as a compliment!
Besides, the kid’s still 7 years younger than me.
I had a crush on Topenga.
But then again, who didn’t?
