I like to be succinct when I say things. There's a reason the english language has so many words right? Might as well use them...
Example: Yesterday I tell someone The German Shepherd won the Herding Group at Westminster. Today I tell them the German Shepherd won Best in Show. " Yeah, you told me that yesterday..."
Example: I ate way too many fish as a poor college student. I still like fish with shells and claws but I won't eat a fish with fins. " What About Halibut?"
Example: I ate way too many beans as a kid, now the only legume of any kind I will eat is a peanut. " What about lima beans?"...
And on it goes......
Or is it just that I'm a curmudgeon?
You are cursed with being surrounded by intellectual inferiors. Move next door to Ben Stein. Should solve the problem.
