Talkin' Shit About A Pretty Sunset

A baltimoron faking a gangsta accent? That does sound painful.
 

I invented a new game to deal with the teenage girls and their incessant like like like. Whenever I am in the presence of such creatures I fake senility (not hard - just twitch a bit and dribble more than usual) and every time one of the nymphets says like then I repeat it like "like" but I say it in a very thoughtful tone like I'm talking to myself and like thinking about the meaning of like or like life, so like she says like and like I say like and like she looks at me like I'm a weirdo and I keep matching them like for like and eventually they like get the message and like move on.
 

football is cool. for those fluent it is like talking about the weather.

you don't like it because you don't know anything about it. I am equally annoyed by basebal land basketball chatter becaseu I don't know anything about those sports.

That guy sounds annoying. a wouldn't be able to concentrate. You should habe thrown your coffee on him.
 

AR,

It's true that I don't know much about football but that's not why I get annoyed at many of the conversations (not all). I can be around conversations about subjects I know zero about and have no problem -- even feel like I'm learning something about a new subject.

But for football, first, I'm just not interested and second, it's seriously annoying when people see their like of this or that team as a major part of their identity and get in serious arguments about it. People, I like this or that sport, fine, but in the end, who cares.

But I've overheard people get in fights about this team or that football team. That's just plain dumb. How can people get that invested in a bunch of overpaid old men playing a kid's game?

In the end, I'm not dislike football any more than any other sport.
 

Anon:

The word "redneck" is used in so many ways it is nearly meaningless.

However, in this post I mean it in a pejorative way.
 

A few generations ago "redneck" and "coffee shop" (if by which you mean a place that serves up lattes and cappuccinos and not just a diner with coffee and pie) wouldn't be found in the same sentence.

By the way, I usually pronounce the name of the team from Laurel, MD, as "foreskins."
