>"Mostly free e-books from the Gutenberg Project. Descartes' "Meditations" are some heavy shiznit."

Why wound a perfectly good read with words like "shiznit"?



shiznit is a technical term in analytic philosophy meaning "this philosopher holds the predominance of public acclaim on a relatively obscure and completely misunderstood idea of his"


in my mind the character used words like that sarcastically
