This actually happened to me at school today

All the other kids in my class were arguing about if a tomato is a fruit or a vegetable so I stood up and said "Tomato doesn't mean the same thing to a botanist as it does to a chef — all things resist categorisation and to try just reflects the pointless human desire for order" and then my bully called me an absurdist fag and everyone laughed. I even tried to explain that I'm an absurdist, not in the Camus sense (I fucking HATE Camus) but in the Lewis Carroll sense but nobody would listen.

I'm reading [surrealist fiction, canonical work of German philosophy, or scientific theory] on the rooftop while smoking a cigarette.
This is a very hard and intellectual book I'm reading.
A mysterious girl appears and says "Wow, that's a very hard and intellectual book you're reading."
"Yes." I say, proceeding to give a brief synopsis of the ideas contained within the work. I will do this every single time a literary work is brought up because I am physically incapable of alluding to something without explaining it outright.
I go to class and see a boy who is wearing a giant neon sign spelling out "I'm mentally unstable" around his neck. I almost forgot to put mine on today.
"world's gonna end lmao" he says.
I am incredibly triggered that someone in high school would say something outlandish with zero substantial evidence to back it up and immediately engage him in a battle of "wits", citing contradictory evidence from an established intellectual authority, the work of which vaguely pertains to the action several scenes prior to this one.
"Finally, a worthy adversary!" he beams. "Well then, how about this?" he says, namedropping several established intellectual authorities.
Nani? Somehow he's been able to memorize more Wikipedia articles on philosophy than I have! I click my tongue and sit in my chair defeated. I'll get him next time.
