In some circles where very heavy people think they have very heavy brains, words like "charming" and "clever" and "pretty" are all put-downs; all the lighter things in life, which are the most important things, are put down.
essence soup paint
I wanted to paint nothing. I was looking for something that was the essence of nothing, and the soup can was it.
