re: #169 The Squire of Logos
Another version of the PhD acronym is ‘Piled high and Deep’. PhD’s come in many flavors many of which can’t find their ass with both hands.
There’s been a fun segment on one of the podcasts I listen to (Kermode and Mayo—BBC) where listeners submit their absurd PhD dissertation titles with translation. I can’t remember exact titles but the summaries are like “a longitudinal study that proved children tend to choose toys that they like”; I appreciate the self-deprecation many show. It’s in short supply in academe.
