How dumb is too dumb?

[datasuspect]

would you go out with a chick or a dude who pronounces "albacore" as "alba-corAY?"

what is the cutoff point.

[Inchworm]

1. I dance on that edge

just to throw 'em off.

:D

[geardaddy]

2. No way.

I'm anal that way. But not the other way. :o

[TrogL]

3. don't knock it 'til you've tried it

[geardaddy]

6. lol

[SteppingRazor]

4. How hot are we talkin'?

:popcorn:

[LostInAnomie]

5. I dated a chick one time that refused to pronounce "frustrated" correctly.

She would always say fuss-trated. It was beyond annoying.

[geardaddy]

7. I dated a chick

who always said "I-talian" for "Italian"

So, I said, "You mean, like, from I-taly?"

[Maine-ah]

20. a bit fusstrating I bet......

:hide:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

8. direct proportion to hotness.

[northzax]

46. kinda like the Mendoza Line?

the Vicki Mendoza line?

[ChickMagic]

9. Oh, this reminds me of something

My hubby, who is generally well spoken, was giving a rant about
something political when, all of a sudden, he used the word
hyperbole correctly. Except that he said hyper-bowl. I had
the distinct impression that he had only ever read the word
and not heard it pronounced. I corrected him and he's been
saying it correctly ever since. Not true with other words.

[Burma Jones]

10. I have no tolerance for dumb

Probably why I didn't get married until I was 35......

[BarenakedLady]

11. I dated a not so sharp one once.

We'd go out with my friends and he couldn't really contribute to the conversation. I'd have to explain stuff to him later. I also had to explain jokes, which just ruins them anyway. He also watched tv with his mouth open, so I had to kick him to the curb. He was a decent guy though.

[EnviroBat]

14. Hmmm, a "mouth-breather" huh?

Glad you tossed that out... Could never imagine you with a fella of that caliber.

[geardaddy]

17. Was this the guy?

[deucemagnet]

38. Go away! 'batin!

:P

[geardaddy]

42. LMAO.

"He broke my apartment."

[LynneSin]

12. Would you vote for a president someone who says Nu*cu*lar

:eyes:

[azmouse]

13. They need the ability to count.

[Rambis]

15. Does he/she breath

both voluntarily and involuntarily? If they forget to breath and still survive then fire away!

[MrCoffee]

16. You've met Amy, have you?

That girl was a piece of fuckin' work, man.

[AlCzervik]

18. hmm, based on personal experience i would say each case is different, example-

one day many years ago my husband came home from work and told me about this gal on the assembly who was thin "She looked emancipated". He's an engineer, words aren't his strong suit.

[BuelahWitch]

19. Always dumb or just sometimes?

The dumbest guy I ever dated was fantastic in the sack. But if we weren't being physical he bored me to tears. Add that to the fact that he couldn't hold a job, frequently drank from morning till night and liked to argue about the least little thing, and the sex was just not worth it. I said goodbye.

I guess it's how much dumb can you stand?

[bushstole2000]

21. maybe she is not american

Italian accent, perhaps.

[suninvited]

22. That is probably overlookable ..

I mean, how often will she find a chance to say 'albacore' anyway?

[IntravenousDemilo]

23. You'll know it when you see it, grasshopper. n/m

[Iris]

24. that's better than "sal-mon"

at any rate, I suffer from mad malapropism, and I'm otherwise pretty bright, so don't ask me.

[Shakespeare]

25. Oh, god. I knew a guy like that once--pronounced quiche "kwee-shay"

He did that ONCE in a restaurant, out with a group of my friends. My dear friend David never even looked up from his menu, just icily said "it's quiche, and keep your voice down." :rofl:

[quip]

28. lol I never miss a chance to hack a word that gives the GP fits-- I usually call it qweechee

I love to make notes of mute points, too! :D

[Shakespeare]

31. I had to bite my tongue on the elevator after lunch today.

A woman from an office on another floor from mine was talking to a co-worker on the ride back up about having lunch at Cuvee (a restaurant near our tower), and she kept pronouncing it Kyoo-vay.

AAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!

[GOPisEvil]

29. "It's quiche and keep your voice down."

:rofl::rofl:

How I wish I was the David that had said that.

[Shakespeare]

30. It was at the Grapevine in College Station!

Remember that place? David was Felix Unger from The Odd Couple, come to life, and was kind of perpetually embarassed by this other friend of ours.

[GOPisEvil]

34. Oh yeah - the Grapevine.

I never made it there. I wonder if it's still there.

If you haven't been to College Station lately, you are in for a SHOCK if you ever go back. It is totally different.

[Shakespeare]

35. I may be going back this fall for a game.

It's been a LONG time since I last visited. A friend of mine from LA moved there about two years ago (used the equity from their house here to buy a HUGE house free & clear--I'm jealous!).

They love living there, and she's been trying to get me to come out for a visit since forever. I need a football fix!

[GOPisEvil]

36. I went to the Nebraska game in 2006.

College Station has grown a lot.

You know, the former students sunk Wellborn Rd so they wouldn't have to walk over a pedestrian walkway from the parking lots in north campus? That cost MILLIONS. Oh, and the new student activity center (gym) has a rock wall. Seriously.

You'll like Kyle Field with The Zone though. More people = more noise. :)

[Shakespeare]

37. They'd had a problem with pedestrians being struck trying to cross Wellborn.

So I can't really blame them too much for lowering the road (I covered a couple of those incidents for the Batt, in fact).

I can't WAIT to see the changes at Kyle Field since the last time I was there.

Do you know whether the Cow Hop or Deluxe Burger Bar are still open over in Northgate?

[GOPisEvil]

39. Well, lowering the road was the expensive way!

But, I guess if you're elderly, walking up a ramp and over a foot bridge and down again is uncomfortable. I just love how the state made them pay for it.

I do not think either the Deluxe is around, but I'm pretty sure The Cow Hop is. A cow pie and fries was a great, cheap meal (when the place hadn't been shut down by the health department, that is).

[Shakespeare]

41. Do you remember the "People Book" coupon books they used to pass out in the MSC?

My roommates and I would hoarde those things! There were always coupons for free frozen yogurt, good ones for Double Dave's, and the $1.89 cowpie, fries & iced tea special at the Cow Hop! :rofl:

I'm sad the Deluxe is gone, though--that place had GREAT burgers.

[NMDemDist2]

26. any dumb is too dumb

smart is one thing that is non negotiable for me

[Fleshdancer]

27. we all have at least one or two experiences of doing something like that

I had to be corrected when I attempted to say Versace for the first time. I also screwed up when saying the name Portia. :crazy:

[WinkyDink]

32. Republican.

[crim son]

33. The young woman who trained me at my last job was always inviting me out

for Thai food, pronounched "thigh" food. I love it when my boss is dumber than I am. :eyes:

[Auggie]

40. "Niger" is not the "N" word

Happened today on a Bay Area radio call-in show. A women called an on-air lawyer complaining that Western Union sent a letter to her son calling him "Niger."

The boy's name happens to be Nigel. The lawyer was certain Western Union regrets the typo.

:eyes:

[Rabrrrrrr]

43. IQ below 120 is the cutoff point.

[Nickster]

44. When they register as a Republican and start talking about that smart guy on the radio, Rush.

[kwassa]

45. When she pronounced Tucson as "Tuckson"
