there’s a genre of phrases that sound like they’re from the bible or like paradise lost, but really, really aren’t. like “there are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see” which is ofc a jordan peterson tweet about a bottle of evian. what are the others?

There was a response to that very post on tumblr where an English teacher, tired of essays where students didn't read the book, gave lessons on how to bs a paper.

had to do a summer essay on the very long book John Adams so I skimmed the wiki just enough to get the answers I needed… not just an A but a 100% 😎😎😎

The big secret is If you are good at Bs-ing papers…
You aren’t actually bs-ing them. You are comprehending the content and showing comprehension.
If you have the literacy skills to skim a wiki and some spark notes and make a cohesive paper, then- big surprise- you wrote an essay

"Born" doesn't really work for a throne. So I give you two alternatives:
You kneel before my throne, unaware is was hewn from lies.
or
You kneel before my throne, unaware is was cast from lies.

My best bs ever was reading two articles on a topic for a 10 page paper and managing to crank it out a day and a half before it was done. Got an A.
