Cyrano De Bergerac

I remember that Jersey so well. It was a favorite of yours back then. Still is. Love it. So we're in Mr. Turner's classroom. Mr. Turner is teaching Cyrano de Bergerac, a story of an unattractive yet well spoken man who uses the boy meets world book club. He uses his better looking friend as a vessel to profess love to the woman of his dreams. Topanga thinks that is sweet and noble. But the rest of the cast calls Cyrano a loser or rather a dip - which we said so much in this thing. I'm so uncomfortable with this word. Dare you guys were you guys out by it? "What does it mean?"
