Aphorisms
I absolutely hate people who use aphorisms. An aphorism, just fyi, is when somebody says a short line, usually one sentence or one stanza of verse, in the hopes of sounding more intelligent than they actually are. If you have to resort to using aphorisms and can't explain yourself in more words, you are an idiot and rely on the idea that people won't question what you've said and that you're friends wouldn't dare say "dude, that's fucking dumb." In all reality, an aphorism that is supposed to make you seem wise, is more like a red flag with "I'm a retard who shits themselves" written on it. I hope God makes aphorisms a sin so you burn in hell for your idiocy (which may sound extreme, but if you've ever heard these subhumans spout off these aphorisms one after another, you'd know how I feel.) What is worse is quoting the aphorism of a historically famous figure, because this just exponentially decreases your IQ (and yes, something can be exponential and decreasing, it's called exponential decay, ex. the half life of radioactive elements.)
FYI - Drinking Toasts do not count as aphorisms because their intent is not to sound wise, it is either to tell a joke or wish health upon those who take part in them, much in the way prayers are not aphorisms.
P.S. Don't post tons of aphorisms in the comments section in an attempt to piss me off, because I will honestly just excommunicate you from my life and delete the comment, unless you truly wish to waste your time in that manner.
