Is post-modern a real thing? It sounds like a made up term pseud academics use to sound intelligent.

Not those guys, but they've been saying pseud/o as an insult here for years. It's nothing new for Veeky Forums, although the other boards clearly still dwell on gems like "cuck" and "faggot."

Jaxson Carter
I assume he asked, "Is David Foster Wallace post-modern?"
Isaac Ramirez
Carry on.
Thanks for clearing that up, I really needed that.
Jaxon Lee
np. Though a fan of post-modern lit should likely know who DFW is. He is extremely popular outside of Veeky Forums, especially in colleges. Much like "G R R M" would be understood.
Robert Lee

Ayden Brown
Uh, yeah? Do you think DFW is just a Veeky Forums meme?
Carter Young
Sounds like she isn't gonna give up her milk and honey for you.
