I Was a Sexenglish Major in College

September 24, 2008 by WendyB

A recent spam email, offering to teach me “sexspanish,” asked, “Would you like to be her naughty student and learn Cervantes?”

Kink-ay!

How intellectual! If the spammer had suggested getting naughty while learning Chaucer, I might have gone for it.

    Intellectual spam. If they could come up with some kind of pump to increase IQ that is some spam I might be into.

    Chaucer’s Pardoner always reminds me of Axl Rose.

    Spammers will conjure up anything to bypass anti stam programs. funny to see what turns up in my spam folder..and should say that is quite amusing too!

    People tend to give Chaucer a lot of credit for writing stories that are essentially about doing it and fart jokes.

    I’d like to be the Chaucer of this generation.

    Hi Wendy-ooh, what an intriguing email! BTW, were you a good student or naughty student-I reckon you were a very good girl!!

    There’s nothing sexy about “Beowulf.”

    Damn. Who knew WendyB was such a dirty, smart girl?

    If you are a French major, isn’t that offer redundant?

    Wendy! I was an English major, too, and took Erotic Writing. So I guess that makes me a Sexenglish Major, eh?

    Cervantes must be rolling over in his grave . . .
    Talk about tilting at windmills!

    Helloooo! Chaucer didn’t write Beowulf. Now the Wife of Bath, that is sexy. But of course the naughty AND studious WendyB would know that.

    haha yeah definitely! I once feel in love with a boy who used the word exanguinate when describing a medical procedure that he underwent. It was amazing.
    And in the same way I can really like someone but then hate them when i find out that they can’t spell for shit.

    Wendy, have you ever read “Shakespeare’s Bawdy?” It explains all of Will’s naughty references that just fly over our 21st century heads. Methinks you’d much enjoy it.
