Today in Organic Chem lecture, my professor was talking about amines and the partial pumps that alkyl groups are, because the electrons on the alkyl substituents have partially polarizable electrons, that can donante electron density and thus influence the pH of the amine. But my professor does not like to use 'polarizable,' just like she doensn't like to say 'resonance delocalization.' For the latter, she likes to say 'smearage' and for the former, she told us today, she likes to use 'squishy' because she loves Finding Nemo. I thought that was a bit coincidental because I just watched Finding Nemo the night before last.

so your polarizable primary amine pump or (pap) is a smear...so you have a pap smear?
or your secondary amine also delocalizes (the electrons) is a smear?
sad smear?
or your tertiary amine also delocalizes is a smear?
tad smear?
okay, okay, i'm probably reaching, but had to say it! pap smear!!!
man, i miss doing chemistry!
the more i look at the word 'smear' the more cool it becomes!! but also the less of a real word it seems to be!
smear!
Calvin, Calvin, Calvin. (shakes head).
