A Joseph Ducreux post.
You want to write "did you even read my email". What you write is "as per my previous correspondence, I humbly refer you to the below". Same lyric. Finer wig. Trying to be current at Christmas, your dad announces that he "possesses ninety nine dilemmas". He doesn't know the rest. Nobody helps him. The turkey goes cold in the silence. Your CV says you are "adept at navigating fast paced environments with diverse stakeholders". It means you once worked a Saturday at a garden centre. Hear it in the right tune and it's a banger. The estate agent calls the flat "a bijou residence of considerable character". It is a cupboard with a damp patch. Once you hear the original, you can't unhear it. **Why it caught on:** Joseph Ducreux, an 18th century French portrait painter, painted himself around 1793 pointing at the viewer with a knowing smirk. A powdered gentleman delivering rap lyrics in grand old words is funny every time, as is anyone dressing up a plain thing in a wig.
