Emily Dickinson is totally “lesbionic”

Girl 1: “So we’ve been reading a lot of Emily Dickinson in class lately…”
Girl 2: “Yeah?”
Girl 1: “Yeah and…I dunno…her writing is really weird.”
Girl 2: “Why’s that?”
Girl 1: “I dunno…it’s just…I get this kind of lesbionic feel from it.”
Girl 2: “Huh.”
Girl 1: “I think Emily Dickinson was a total lesbian.”
This was earlier this year, but it’s one of the best conversations I’ve ever overheard. Seriously, who uses “lesbionic” in a sentence, like, ever?
