Well, if by "was a dear" you mean "was lazy and took a nap in the reference section" then, yes.

I do still consider myself an expert on the kidney, though. ;)

Indeed, the phrase “oh snap” has existed in the common vernacular since well before Zoolander. In fact, if you had been hanging out in the black ghetto of any major city in the late 1990’s, then you would know this. The thing is that by the time that a catchphrase like “oh snap” makes it into a movie, black people have already been there, done that, and wrote a postcard home about it. It has been my observation that the spread of catchphrases seems to go generally from black people, to gay people, then to white teenage girls, then to the general straight white population. It is a good rule of thumb, also, that by the time a catchphrase becomes popular in the straight white community, it is already “uncool” in the black community. By that time, black people are already using the next popular catchphrase that is coming down the pike. So what if you are poor, black, and gay? Well, then you’ve hit the jackpot, baby! Poor black gay guys are the world’s linguistic moneymakers. They are the ones who create each new catchphrase before it sweeps the country. If you haven’t had the opportunity to hang out with any poor black gay guys as of late, I would highly recommend it. They are an absolutely awesome group of people. However, before you rush out and find one to befriend, I would caution you as to one thing: Judge not, lest ye be judged. Then, when you have sufficiently suspended judgment, laissez les bon temps rouler!
