Perhaps not!

Today I had a phone call put through from the switchboard, from a customer who had asked to be put through to "the erudite and useful ladies and gentlemen on the big desk, please" - I was flattered once I'd looked up 'erudite' and found that it means learned, scholarly and possessing or showing profound knowledge. However, as I had to look it up, perhaps I'm not so very erudite after all...?!
