I don’t know if it’s an East coast thing or what but for fucks sake people, the word ignorant and being rude have two different meanings. Why do I hear this all the time… people calling someone ignorant when they mean to say rude!? Just for you dumb fucks out there, the meaning of ignorant is someone who is lacking knowledge or training. Get that straight because using the word ignorant for being rude just goes to show how ignorant YOU really are. And with that being said, Happy New Year everyone! —Not an ignorant person

insert obvious south park reference here….
Fuck you, you ignorant person. It’s perfectly acceptable to use ignorant in this context. Such as, they are ignorant, therefore they don’t know any better than to be rude. Get over it
Maybe they assume that the rudeness has roots in ignorance. It often does.
I agree!!!
My parents do that ALL THE TIME. Drives me bananas.
Yes, it is an east coast thing…
It’s an East Coast thing. At least we don’t sit around the hoose saying shit like ‘no doot aboot it’.
Sorry, but ‘ignorant’ has recently been redefined, now it means lacking knowledge AND being rude. Get used to it. I hate language fundamentalists like the OP, so fucking annoying. Language is not stagnant, it’s going to change and evolve constantly, that’s one of the things that makes language so cool and interesting.
If someone uses ‘ignorant’ to mean rude, and YOU understand it as such, then you have just verified that definition simply by understanding it. You can bitch and wine about it all you want, but language is going to keep on going leaving you behind in the dust.
Ten points to whoever points out my misspelling and uses it to discredit my opinion.
We can thank Gutenberg for the the language pricks with poles up their asses.
your misspelling discredits your opinion snoop….
obviously.
🙂
people shouldn’t bitch and wine [sec]… it leads to many, many misspellings
snoop, it’s obvious you had too much whine when you posted this drivil. LOL. Do I get my 10 points now? What can I get for them.
ten points should get you a glass of whine, in my humble opinion.
Instead of Rude or Ignorant you could always substitute Stunned Fucker?
“dumb as a bad of hammers”. ten points should get the giant wine glass or a large tumbler of single malt. i would go for a pitcher of margaritas timothy
well i guess we know who the dumb one is *bag* but never rude
Heheh… didn’t let anyone get the 10 points from YOU, did you painey??
i just like games…the points should be distributed evenly to timothy and zZz. anyone know how to play hearts, rumoli, scat, backgammon, euchre, blackjack etc.? cribbage, balderdash, pictionary…i’ll stop now
crokinole!!!
I’ve shed many a crimson drop cracking my nails playing that game…
teehee…pa ching and then off the board, completely missing the target
love crokinole! a classic at grammy’s house when I was a wee one. Always ended up with my cousins throwing them at each other. he he.
rumoli – tres fun, especially with drinks involved! cribbage – bestest camping game, that and rummy!
My fav board game as a kid was full house. This one, not the TV show: http://magisterrex.files.wordpress.com/201…
never played that one but i’m always game^^ dominoes, chinese checkers, crazy eights
The ten points goes to zZz because he got it first. Sorry Bro Tim, you get a smiley face for effort 😀
I have to agree with broc on this one. If the subject doesn’t know any better than to be rude, then ignorant is the right word in he right context. The one I hate the most though is Irregardless. What the fuck is that suposed to mean?
By the way,
[sec] should be [sic] 😀
yes o.p., but then you have some assholes that just cross over, back and forth, and never care what they say or do. being rude to someone, hurting their feelings say, is one thing, but then ignoring their feeling is really being ignorant of the fact, that they hurt someone. see how it goes. there is a thing out there, that makes things right in the end, not karma, but something called fate. to that day, these assholes will hurtle, til bang, it gets them, and all you have to do is wait. it may take awhile, but fate does set things right. i have seen this happen many times, and laughed my ass off, as those that deserved it, got it. you will too.
I always ask them to give me a definition of the word and that just pisses them off more. Especially when I laugh in their face.
Ignorude.
huked on fonics werked for me
I would like to second , stuned fuck !
thanks NsnTH,
I was going for speed and didn’t want to take the time to look up if that was right.
you can have 5 of my points since you pointed my error out.
redeemable everywhere LTWWB points are accepted.
My ol Dad says ‘Chicargo’. I’ve stopped trying to correct him years ago. I got over it.
Happy New Year
It’s a bit of a tangent from incorrect usage to flat out, subliterate mispronunciation but 2 decades of daytime talk shows have failed to diminish the nails-on-chalkboard effect of hearing A-S-K pronounced as A-X-E.
walter, inserting R’s is pretty popular…
we used to have this manager back when I was in the lowly restaurant gig….
she would always tell us to “worsh the dirshes well with plenty of hot worter”….
it didn’t take long before we made a game out of that…
LOL, east coast thing – I suppose we would know what the word meant if we were from Toronto, or some other generic shitty Canadian city, is that it? lol. You ignoramus!
My nanny says “san-wriches”…. Thank you sir, I will have a grilled cheese san-wrich, and fries please.
May I just say how much it warms my cockles to read these bitches? I just love the left turn they take into movies, dogs, games, recipes… whatever, then get back on topic with nary an eyelash batted. So fun! (and I don’t care what anyone says)
I love you guys! >hic
excellent…we have another for the spaceship. the way archie bunker spoke was hilarious, turlet being one of my faves
‘Awwww geeez Edith!’
How’s puppy painey?
he is back to happy sleeping farting status^^one of my favourite word scenes is from snatch, when he asks “do you like dawgs?” can’t load internet won’t let me…bleep
I am happy to hear your puppy isn’t throwing up nasty stuff anymore, PG.
Thank you zZz for sharing your hard-earned points with me. I feel humble.
And yes, ASK pronounced as AKS gets me too, especially when it is in past tense. Statements like “I aksd him twice!” and “I should have aksd her” bring such morbid imagery to my mind every time.
Yay for the happy, healthy, flatulent pooch!
I really loved watching Archie Bunker reruns. Laugh, holy frig he made me laugh. Good times, good times. 😀
“i ain’t got no respect for no religion where the head guy claims he can’t make no mistakes. like he’s, waddya call, inflammable”
wow. You’re my hero. I’m as much of a semantics/grammar/spelling/punctuation nazi as you clearly are but you, my good buddy, have the guts to actually admit this neurosis in public. I just pretend it’s funny and get over it. But not you. You take it to the hoop.
I’m having trouble reconciling the fact that it IS an annoying misuse of the word with the suspicion that you’re just a nitpicker. As a fellow (but self-hating) nitpicker, i’m torn.
for example… there is another COMMONLY misused word out there that even people who are not ignorant tend to misuse. And that word is irony. Every day i see… “common usage” nazis such as yourself misuse the word “irony”.
Point is? We all do it. Chances are wherever you come from has it’s own obnoxious misuses of language. Somewhere out there there is someone rolling their eyes at something you’ve said. It’s turtles all the way down.
I just got a shirt from the closet…& its all irony bye’s.
I hate that !
