Probably the thing I have overheard the most is:

“Omg, Obama is SO hot!” (or variations on that) 

-every female ages 14 and up.

But the best overheard was this; I was on the Metro, coming into DC proper from Michael’s place. There was a guy, with his two daughters, who were probably a little bit younger than me.

The two of them are babbling back and forth, mentioning aforementioned hotness of Obama (which I kind of agree on) and then somehow segueing into how Obama has a man crush on Lincoln, given all his symbolic Lincoln things from his campaign.

So the father is like “What’s a man crush?”

And one of his daughters explains.

And he considers this for a moment, before saying in  a fairly deep Southern drawl “My only man crush is on Jesus Christ!”

It was basically impossible not to laugh.

Maybe you had to be there.
