I really enjoyed Cognoscente's response to #44496.
"I sure hope you're hot, because frankly your taste in music is awful."

When I read that, I lol-ed...literally.

I did too, I just wasn't sure it would be worth putting that question in the poll. I'm always wondering, "Which is worse? Having two or three questions no one votes for, or running the risk that someone will have a favorite I didn't mention?"

I think it's fine having a few questions no one votes for, IMHO. Ha! I love using acronyms that no one else uses, because they are so old school.

I would have used IMOHO, but I don't know if that's even an accepted acronym.

I always use IMAO.

I'm a fan of IMNSHO. It was one of the first acronyms I learned a couple of decades ago....

Not So?

Yup. You know those Mom's, more realists than epitomes of humility.

Whatever a mom says goes. Only the very stupid (*cough*my brother*cough*) dare argue with a mother. Especially a mother who just came home from the hospital with a new baby.

Quoth my father: "If mom ain't happy, ain't no one happy."

Ain't that the truth.

Huh?

If the first letter were an 'L', I'd recognize the acronym. But with an A.... is it one of the following?

In my...

Awesome
Asinine
Ample
Antagonistic
Artful
Alleged
Alliterative
Anthropologistical (I dare you to pronounce that one!)
Aardvarkian
Arthurian
Apple-promoting
Alimonial
Alimentary
Assistive
Arduous
Angry
Argumentative
All-knowing

... opinion.

Yeah, if it's not one of those, I'm definitely out of the loop.

Fredjikrang · Post by **Fredjikrang** » Mon Apr 21, 2008 3:28 pm

Yeah, I have to admit being a bit confused by that one as well.

Buttercup · Post by **Buttercup** » Mon Apr 21, 2008 5:15 pm

I believe it's for arrogant. But Aardvarkian would be a lot better.

Giovanni Schwartz · Post by **Giovanni Schwartz** » Mon Apr 21, 2008 5:39 pm

Anthropologistical (I dare you to pronounce that one!)

. Anthropologistical. An (ant without the t), throw (like a ball), pole (like... I don't know. The kind I almost ran into in the middle of campus today?), lodge (like when you go to a ski resort and get too cold so you go to the lodge and drink hot chocolate), is (like his pronounced in a Spanish accent), tickle (like "My brother Craig is very ticklish." Oh wait, ticklish and tickle aren't the same thing. Umm... Like the website that tells you what your IQ is?) An(t)throwpolelodge(h)istickle.

I don't know if I'll be able to spell it right anymore...

Agreed. On both counts. Arrogant makes more sense, thought, because it's kind of the opposite of humble.

His response threw me for a moment, I was still picturing the "apparently 7-years-old" and somehow hot isn't associated with that image. I felt like posting simply to point that out, but I had no useful contribution to the question and it may have been taken poorly by some.

Nae problemo, dood. But maybe that's because I was once an anthropology major.
