Kate is moving back to Chicago from New York to live with her boyfriend, Shad. Young and I helped them move furniture into their new apartment.
Kate: We're going to need to prop that door open somehow.
Shad: We can use the bungee cord.
Kate: I've got some twine I can use to tie it open.
Shad: Why would you use that when I have bungee cord? What do you have against bungee? Every time I suggest bungee she decides to use some weird other thing.
[as Kate tied an elaborate knot of twine to keep the door open]
Me: Do you really have a problem with bungee?
Kate: No, but it's just sort of become a thing.
