With the annual meeting of the Modern Language Association coming up early next month, some social media fun is to be expected. This year the hashtag getting the laughs is #mlatshirts -- with the words that might be expected on a T-shirt getting packed for the meeting. Among our favorites:

  • "Will refute you for food."
  • "This is less of a question and more like three related comments."
  • "Let me problematize that for you."
  • "Your shirt is interesting, but let's talk about MY shirt."
  • "Our Department Strives To Show Its Professionalism By Interviewing Candidates In A Comparatively Large Hotel Bedroom."
  • "Just looked through the stream and saw no MOOC references. Oh, the humanities!"
  • "I'll save you the trouble of looking at my badge: I'm not worth talking to." (From an Inside Higher Ed blogger who most definitely is worth talking to.)
