When conversing with the witty and learned, its best not to pretend that youre familiar with topics and ideals, which you are not. You are fooling no one. Instead, make it plain that you are unknowledgeable about the particular thing and they will happily fill you in as much as possible. Nothing is wrong with not knowing—does not mean you are stupid. It is the fronting that makes things awkward. Just go home, crack open some books, Google and Wikipedia some interests, check your sources, feed your brain, and next time you will be prepared to engage and contribute more than a few rights, trues, and mm hmms—or you will simply be able to listen with confidence.
