you weren't loud as a teenager?might be an issue of just being soft
you're confusing volume with confidence, intellect or ability. discretion is the better part of valor; or to put in terms you might understand: "like dull knife, you just ain't cutting".
"a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"
isn;t that actually used in a jb song?
Come to think of it, I believe it is. Hey, does it feel like I'm actually looking at you when you read my posts now?
I'm not suggesting that my guy is dumb, but one of my classmates keeps referring to the implementation portion of our senior projects as the "implemecation." I don't know where he got that one. He's a grown ass man and our instructor only says the word like eight times per class session.

Was talking to this woman-friend on the phone for a bit and among other things that made me quit calling her, she goes:
Her: Who was that guy who ran against Obama?
Me: John McCain?
Her: Yeah, he is baaaad.
And that was all she had to say on that. I was like okay...
I was grabbing a new cellphone yesterday, and this really cute young chick was helping me out. After I'd chosen a phone,
Girl>"If you want us to keep your old phone we recycle them" Me>" Really?" Girl>"Ya they go to 'Feed the Children' or something." Me, grinning> "Your going to feed my old cellphone to a child?" Girl> "Like whatever, you can keep it if you want" Me> grinning and thinking: damn, your sweet.
so one summer our roommate bounced for a few months and we got someone to move in and sublet. it was three of us total and the girl i knew kept saying we were "sublenting" the third bedroom. it wasn't a pet peeve, i found it hilarious and called her out on it several times. so when my man moves back in a couple months later she gets into a fight with him and starts screaming how "the sublenter was cleaner and more considerate then him". every time she said "sublent" i started howling and he was holding back tears trying not to laugh.
this woman also ended up becoming a phi beta kappa in economics. yet she didn't understand probability at all. she really thought if you bought nine lotto tickets and lost each time, you'd have a better chance of winning the 10th time. incredible.

south park did an episode where a bunch of kids became wannabe goth kids, and of course the original goth kids were pissed off. what killed me was the goth wannabe kids kept using the term "persay". i was on the floor with that, that term is never used without sounding condescending.

Dude this is soulstrut. We were quiet, introverted teenagers here!

is that supposed to be an example of the way dumb people talk?
Nah, I changed my avatar to an actual picture of myself.
"Whenever" instead of "when". As in, "So dude called my girl a slut. Whenever he said that, I just flipped out."
That drives me nuts!
Also would of / could of / should of
Her: Who was that guy who ran against Obama?
Me: John McCain?
Her: Yeah, he is baaaad.
And that was all she had to say on that. I was like okay...
Here are some other improper phrases that drive me nuts:
-"your own[/b]self"
-"mines"
-
-"we was..."
-"ax" (instead of "ask")
-"hurted"
-"po-lice" (peep the phonetics)
-"am-bu-lance" (phonetics again)
-"conversate"

haha, I actually like this one enough that I have appropriated for myself.
And I'm 100% guilty of using "like". I just grew up saying it, so to me it is a more of a colloquialism.
Girl>"If you want us to keep your old phone we recycle them"
Me>" Really?"
Girl>"Ya they go to 'Feed the Children' or something."
Me, grinning> "Your going to feed my old cellphone to a child?"
Girl> "Like whatever, you can keep it if you want"
Me> grinning and thinking: damn, your sweet.
And worse still: DROWNEDING
This is where the word "pedestal" comes from.

cute? yes

Only if you bought them all at once...
This one kills me, how anyone thinks it makes sense to use a non-existent verb as an adjective is beyond my understanding.
