obnoxious

The name of this fall’s most obnoxious classmate: Six Seven.

Their son, David Brown, said his mother described Thomas Brown during his Knox days as “the obnoxious guy sitting in the front of class, smoking a pipe and arguing with the professor.”

He is whimsical, funny, snarky, slightly obnoxious and at his core, I think, very sincere.

You probably don’t need me to supply the obnoxious punchline to that joke.

In January 2022 he was put on notice for a host of causes: combative emails, obnoxious behavior, failures of organization.
