his English professor asked

the students to state their names and one interesting fact about themselves.

Trevor said, "My brother and I know the definition of every single word in the English language."

A wave of laughter rolls through the auditorium. The professor raised her hands to the students. "Is that so?" she asked.

"Yes, ma'am, absolute truth."

She wrote the word supercilious on the board. "OK, Trevor, what does this word mean?"

He looked at the board for a moment and said, "That's one that my brother knows."
