A girl from Karachi and a boy from Hyderabad. This is their phone conversation. Read on:

So you're a self-styled Alpha Geek eh?

Self-proclaimed, yep. Reformed hacker.

So what's the difference huh?

I don't know. I'm not so well acquainted with the nitty-gritty of the English language!

So you're a hunchbacked whirling dervish?

Yep, but I'm not Sufi -- I'm Salafi.

Oh

Ah

So what's the difference huh?

I don't know. I'm not so well acquainted with the nitty-gritty of Islam.

Your know weasel is a sneaky, untrustworthy, or insincere person.

Me?

Nope. 

That's your vocab booster!

Thanks.

Plaza insisted that Lenny's original, somewhat gendered dialogue—smarmy, crass, with a barstool intellectual's love of old-timey vocab—be kept in tact.

What's that?

Mac, you're a very complicated person.

Me?

Yeah, who else?
