First lesson...See my geek and raise me a tool, thanks for that.
I got that you were joking, just pointing out the line didn't work. Although I quoted you, my comment, seeing as it was pluralised, was directed at all the comments refering to the fact the chick was Polish, which didn't seem that relevant. Poles are getting a hard time for very little reason at the moment.
I wasn't calling you a geek as such, more refering to the collective and yes I include myself in that. You must be a bit of a geek otherwise you wouldn't be here. Don't think you needed to get your knickers in quite such a twist about this. BFF?![]()
Because you miss humour does not mean it's not present. Trying to elevate yourself or present yourself as the ‘the definer of humour’ or as being 'above that' is somewhat pious if I may be so bold. Different strokes for different folks...
Second lesson....
When making a general point it may be better not to quote a specific instance as the person whom you quote may seek to clarify your understanding or interpretation if they feel it as wrong. By quoting me you were inferring I sat within the 'pluralised group' hence my response, your view of others who you may also see as being a member of said group is for them to deal with.
Fact 1
I don't wear knickers or twist my good ladies.
Fact 2
I have no idea what BFF means
AOB
I have several Polish friends and my mate Dino (and abbreviation of his Polish surname) smirked at my comment when I canvassed his opinion. He appreciated that it was humorous (not one of my best to quote him verbatim) and if dissected could be seen as flawed but then like me he is no geek and was happy to see it for what it was. A cheap yet slightly humours jibe perhaps playing on the perception of a stereotype personified by many peoples tabloid view of our world. If I walk into a Police station it makes me neither a policeman nor criminal as contributing to a forum does not make me a geek either, even if said forum may be frequented by many fitting the definition...
I felt being a pedant was an appropriate way of dealing with this one even though I would normally simply ignore it, I was bored. My work is done here; I have a book on SQL to read.
PS. I don't actually have a book on SQL to read, I was using inferred irony and yes I am being patronising in some of my points above, I sensed you might like that.
