Hello! 👁 Smile :)
I am confused about this word “classic”! May I get it as “very typical” ?? See definition 2 in Oxford Dictionary, http://www.oup.com/oald-bin/web_getald7index1a.pl
If Dr. David say “the sense of the word”, then that will make more sense to me! ... could not figure out this one ... 👁 Confused :confused:
(Prison Break – Dr. David is a clinical psychiatrist)
Dr. David: ... ... If someone with a low IQ has low-latent inhibition, it almost always results in mental illness. But if someone has a high IQ, it almost always results in creative genius.
Sara: Do you think Michael's a genius?
Dr. David: Well, I think that word's been derogated in the media these days, but in the classic sense of the word, yes, I do.
