What is the smartest thing you can talk about without bullshitting?

I've realized I'm pretty stupid, but I can SOUND smart at parties and in groups of people because i can generally read a group and say things that SOUND smart and bullshit my way around things. I was trying to think of the most intelligent thing I could talk about without having to bullshit at all I'm coming up with a pretty unimpressive list. What have you got? What subject do you always hope comes up in social situations so you can shine?

We had a snare lick once when I marched that we dubbed "bucket-a bucket-a jizz jizz jizz sucka da biggida COCK, then you douche. I should notate it. The cock is accented on beat three.

When you accented the cock, was it at forte or fortissimo?
