Oxford has a slightly mythical rep, particularly for people who haven't been there.
Anybody tells me I get a chance to rep Houston, I'm gonna rep it proud. It's all I've been wanting to do forever.
Well, start waving and yelling, because it is the so-called Oxford comma and it is a lot more dangerous than its exclusive, ivory-tower moniker might suggest. There are people who embrace the Oxford comma and people who don't, and I'll just say this: never get between these people when drink has been taken. Oh, the Oxford comma. Here, in case you don't know what it is yet, is the perennial example, as espoused by Harold Ross: "The flag is red, white, and blue." So what do you think of it? Are you for or against it? Do you hover in between?
It has been handed down in mythical form from earliest times to posterity, that there are gods, and that the divine (Deity) compasses all nature.

That last rep where you're trying as hard as you can and you barely make it! That is what turns on the growth mechanism in your body. That last almost impossible rep where you're bearing your teeth, you're shaking all over, you need assistance! That rep is very special, that rep is very different. There's something special going on inside your body when that happens.

Youthquake' wasn't an entirely predictable choice for Oxford's Word of 2017. It hasn't been on the lips of an entire nation, nor is it new. But it amply fulfilled the criteria Oxford requires for selection.
I saw the spires of Oxford As I was passing by, The gray spires of Oxford Against a pearl-gray sky. My heart was with the Oxford men Who went abroad to die.
If a star football player can have a mythical girlfriend, why can't I have a mythical Congress?
The budget is like a mythical bean bag. Congress votes mythical beans into it, then reaches in and tries to pull real ones out.

I was lucky to get to Oxford. I am now an honorary fellow of my old college, which is nice, particularly for a colonial like me.
I've always been a geek and slightly awkward... slightly umm... I was never the cool kid at school.

I made it to Oxford, but it is not that I am particularly clever, much more that I am a worker bee.
When I was at Oxford, I was a Thatcher child; I was fascinated by politics and I spent three years being obnoxious in the Oxford Union.
I realised that all one really had to do was just observe. Observe and slightly exaggerate, and you had comedy. Instead of creating a mythical premise for a stupid joke, I found playing off truth got the best result.
