I mock, therefore I am

Well now, this might get interesting...

No, it won't. That person is a bore and the shtick is tired. I was bored reading your interaction with him but I figured it was your dad.

user, I know smart people. They aren't boring. I didn't accuse the man of being intelligent, I accused him of being a pretentious bore. Not the same thing.

People don't realize intelligence in evident in cadence and flow, not grammar and usage. He isn't an intellectual giant, he's just boring.

I've seen a few of your opinions on various topics here. I think I'll pass on using you as a barometer for anything, especially such topics as "how to appear smart hurr durr". That combination of menopausal bile and anger at an insufficiently satisfying life must be difficult to live with. You have my pity.

I suspect the urge to throw yourself in front of a bus is almost overwhelming at times. You should try it, I hear it takes away the pain real good. Now I know the above post is likely to keep you busy with a thesaurus for several hours, so I'll help you out when you go to craft your inevitable response by providing some synonyms for "Boring" so you will appear smarter on an inta net message board. It's a great schtick, trust me.

Boring: apathetic, distasteful, doldrum-causing, dull, ennui-inducing, fatiguing, mayor of Snoozyville, irksome, instant lack of interest, lassitudinal, lethargy lad, listless, monotonous, pococurante, Same-ol-Samuel, taedium vitae (Oh Latin I LIKE this one), tediousitizer, tiresome, unconcerning, world-wearying, yawnee McYawnerson.

Hope these help, I look forward to reading your witticisms with great joy, and by joy I mean hearty gouts of projectile vomit.
