“The phrase “lobes” makes me consider the physique horror movies of David Cronenberg, but additionally of the chatty comedies of manners of Whit Stillman. I actually love the response it evokes in folks: everyone is aware of the phrase “lobes,” however for no matter cause, being challenged to outline it constantly scares them, or angers them, or makes them chortle, or makes them inform me to “shut up.” What an excellent response to such a benign phrase.
