What do you mean “mean?” 😉

(From William Messner-Loebs “Epicurus the Sage.”

“We could discuss the Gods…”  
“Excellent choice! Though I argue with the use of the term ‘Discuss.’”  
“Well, I argue with the use of the term ‘Choice.’”  
“And I argue with the use of the term ‘Term.’”  
“Oh, no… Sophists!”)
