20-something guy: Hey I totally forgot, it’s Bastille Day!
20-something girl: What’s Bastille Day?
20-something guy: It’s the official French national holiday.
20-something girl: Ohh right.. The fuck is a bastille?
20-something guy: (obviously messing with the girl) It’s french for, like, the son of someone who’s a bastard. Like, “Hey I’m a huge bastard, and this is my bastille.” See that kid over there? (Points across the street to kid throwing a tantrum.) Total bastille.
20-something girl: (disgusted and oblivious) Ew, major bastille.
