    Rustication was the most amazing word I learned. Boy, the glee of knowing that people with soft hands, who sneered at farmers and who had never done a day of work in their lives, were forced to go down to the countryside and know what sweat and and aching body after a day’s work meant…I still love that word. Say, I think I’m going to go on X and tell laid-off WaPo reporters to learn to code.
