"What's your least favorite music genre?" Charlotte asked her fiancé.

"I can't stand today's pop music. That genre's full of generic garbage, there's no imagination anymore." George replied without hesitation. 

"I had no idea you were such a connaisseur of popular culture," Charlotte smiled, rolling her eyes. 

"A pop connaisseur! I'll add that to my resumé." I may not be an expert, but I know good music when I hear it!"

"We should check out the new salad buffet that opened,"  Suggested Charlotte enthusiastically.  "we've got to start a diet to prepare for the big day! It's time to say bon voyage to cheese and bread, and hello to carrots and tomatoes."
