When we were in junior high school, my friend Rich and I made a map of the school lunch tables according to popularity. This was easy to do, because kids only ate lunch with others of about the same popularity. We graded them from A to E. A tables were full of football players and cheerleaders and so on. E tables contained the kids with mild cases of Down's Syndrome, what in the language of the time we called "retards."
We sat at a D table, as low as you could get without looking physically different.
中学時代、私は友人のRichと一緒に、食堂テーブルの人気マップを作った。
子どもたちは、同程度の人気の人間とだけ昼食をとるから、マップは簡単に作成できた。
Aテーブルは、フットボール選手とかチアリーダーのようなリア充で溢れていた。
