Intelligent and highly strung

This is what my PhD supervisor told me today.

Since I have genetic inheritances from two sides of Europe (England/Scotland and Russia/Ukraine), I am intelligent and highly strung.

He also said that I would be fiesty, but my religious upbringing has made me too polite!

Hmmm...

I don't belive that at all. Your mother had a similar religious upbringing, and she still turned out fiesty.

Hmmm... So perhaps it was the calming influence of my English/Scottish father than cancelled out the fiestiness??

Or maybe I just reserve my fiestiness for certain people, such as my brother??

he only said the "intelligent" bit to tamper the insult.
how can you be intelligent and be a fundamentalist/ literalist anything?

Well, that all depends on what you mean by fundamentalist/literalist.
