It's Officially Impossible To Talk

[Infi]

Don't worry, it passes eventually.

 

Like gas

[Macmaster92]

It does get very annoying when it feels like you can't say anything because you think that everyone will make a stupid sick joke out of it. I wish everyone would just defragment they're brains. They could use some cleaning up.

[Nom]

^Totally unrelated, but I know exactly where your sig is from. The song is awesome and the video is hilarious.

[Ouchy]

I suppose that is just the way the worlds 'Clay' is being moulded. Say something that might do something else, and you get childish giggles.

 

 

 

The trolls are going outside of the internet, and bringing their habits with them...

[doomy]

Heh I just think about every single little thing I say nowadays, just so nothing comes out wrong, but it always does :lol:

 

Doesn't bother me though :P

[Who]

Don't worry, it passes eventually. It's really just a freshman thing for the most part.

 

For your case maybe, but from my experiences, juniors and seniors can be just as immature as the average 5 year old.

 

 

 

For all dealings of idiocy, I usually reply in monotone, showing absolutely no emotion. They may find the monotone speaking to be humorous, but it gets old for them fast and they'll move on to the next poor victim that hasn't been massively overdosed with testosterone.

 

 

 

Just today, a student I know wanted to tell a story involving porn to a girl. Sure some guys might find it humorous, but seriously, if your going to be an idiot, torture your own gender. :wall:

[jemathonical]

That sounds mature. Over in Australia here no one goes around saying 'in the butt' or 'that's what she said'. I would've thought it would've got old at grade 8.

[Ezz]

I believe me and my friends are past the age where it's like that all the time.

[dsavi]

What I would do to make some people in my class magically grow up.

[Saru Inc]

I don't encounter it very often, so I actually found your friend's reply quite funny. As long as it's used appropriately and sparingly I can have a good chuckle at a "so's your face!" or a "that's what your mum said!".

 

 

 

Essentially grown up potty humor really doesn't have an appropriate time to be said.

 

 

 

 

 

I've noticed this; a lot, it's quite annoying.

I assume this thread in general refers to the school environment (most people 'really' grow up at least by age 25 and stop being little kids)... Well I wouldn't know about Australia, but nordic countries/Europe in general... And I spent my early school years in the States..

 

 

 

American modern culture (of the youth) is by definition arrogant and ignorant. There is some diseased obsession with humiliation, sex, appearances... And it's pretty sickening, wouldn't want to raise a kid there right now... Don't think you're going to encounter the same phenomena in other countries, even nearly to the same degree.

 

 

 

Really, if someone kept making the same reta­rded jokes about anything anybody said (even if totally neutral and normal phrases), they'd be social outcasts in a school pretty fast in an european country...

Its funny because im not an outcast. Though thats not to say im hugely popular, either. lol, college.

 

But we were talking about rods and cones (eye nerve connective things in the retina) today and the jokes were flying thick and fast. "Hurr, id subsect my rod to you, if you know what I mean", "If you were a nerve connecting you would be a cone because you take 4 at a time."

 

The insanity never stops here.

[baalboy5]

That why before I say something thats a potential sex joke I say

 

Non-Homo.

 

and then say w/e,

 

Non-homo is the phrase to make it that w/e I'm or someone going to say can't be sex-u-lated.

[MPM]

Don't worry, most of the group will grow out of it by the time their 16. The rest of them are doomed to making "funny" sexual innuendos for the rest of their life, because they can't think of anything amusing and relative to insert into the conversation.

 

After that, "That's what she said" will be just said maybe once or twice a week as a filler when a conversation suddenly dies.

[mrpez]

its not just english. let me give you a few examples in spanish:

 

 

 

año - year

 

ano- [wagon]

 

 

 

pero - but

 

perro- b*tch

 

pedo - fart (in spanish, an 'r' is pronounced as a 'd', so 'pero' and 'pedo' are pronounced the same)

 

 

 

actually its:

 

 

 

pera - pear, wait(slang)

 

perra - b*tch

 

 

 

and in spanish an "r" isnt pronounced as a "d" so pero isn't pedo

 

 

 

yeah, the 'perro' was a typo, should have had an 'a' at the end. this is relevant to the topic because its not just in english that words can be made to have other meanings.

 

 

 

'r' is pronounced as a soft 'd' in spanish. if you are not pronouncing them as a soft 'd' its a mispronunciation. its not supposed to be a hard 'r' sound like in english.

[Nom]

The 'r' is rolled, not pronounced as a 'd.' If you are not pronouncing them with a roll of the tongue it's a mispronunciation.

[megakiller32]

It's not that bad where I live, but i feel sorry for you, that's an insane situation...

 

Meh, hopefully people mature up and forget about the connotations, it's normally because people are too stupid and unfunny, so they take the easy way out and make a sexual reference.

 

I like to think those are the kind of people who type "OMGLOLZORS,LUK AT MI BAD SPELING ND GRMUR."

[Cyco_Reborn]

Yeah, people are a bit too sexual at times, which can be annoying, but most of the time it's pretty funny.

[dangeresque]

I find it funny usually, Me and my friends talk like that all the time to each other, just for kicks.

just out of curiosity, whats your mother tongue?

[meol]

It seems it's just a phase, as someone else already said. I remember such jokes in my class like 3-4 years ago, but right now most of our class has grown out of that attitude. I'm not saying we're all mature, but non of us would tell those jokes now.

 

 

 

-For Spanish speakers there's a lot of difference between a hard r, a soft r and a d. Problems arise for English speakers since they usually can't handle the r's.

[The Observer]

Good thing most of my good friends are like that. Yes, I said most. Some of them are just terrible. I can think of examples...

 

"What are you doing?"

 

"Your mom! Oooooh!!"

 

 

 

"What's up?"

 

^ I'm not even going to state the response to that. #-o

[Hawks]

A few years ago, we couldn't say one sentance without someone ending it with 'that's what she said' 'in your pants' or ergh somthign else I can't remember right now.

 

 

 

But I have a funny story. In German, [bleep] (dang... it's blocked. nickname for 'richard', starts with d?) means fat. However you can think of what else it means. So we're sitting there, the teacher's like [bleep] means fat. So after that we have some five minutes of pure laughter, even the teacher.

 

Also in German class today, she made two kids (boy and girl) go up front and tango to a song... Anyway, she was showing them how to tango and she says 'are you ready to do it?' to the girl, who didn't know how to tango. Everybody starts laughing again, and the teacher apologizes profusely to the girl.

 

Needless to say, German is the best class for numerous reasons. :lol:

The 'r' is rolled, not pronounced as a 'd.' If you are not pronouncing them with a roll of the tongue it's a mispronunciation.

 

 

 

'rr' is rolled. 'rr' is not the same letter as 'r'. if you're going to try to rebuke what im saying, then at least be grammatically correct.

 

 

 

'r' is pronounced as a soft 'd'. just as 'v' is pronounced as a 'b' and 'd' is pronounced 'th', there are many nuances to the language newcomers butcher. i speak regularly with spanish speakers that have been speaking the language for more than half their lives, and they have corrected me on this issue many times.

 

 

 

i wont argue past this point, as i know i am correct and it makes no difference to me whether or not you mispronounce words. any argument past this one is simply devoid from the topic, so i will not respond.
