Despite the favour I have for it, even I must admit that sometimes the word 'fool' is inadequate for fully demonstrating the complete and utter depths of another person's stupidity; previously, I would have thought that there were no words in this language or any other that would serve as suitable descriptor ( Read more... )

[It was her "son's" birthday? Well, Ivy was feeling like a bit of a negligent mother at the moment. Nevermind that though...]

I'm rather fond of grinning gargoyle and cackling clown, myself.

[Guess who has a side hobby of making up alliterative nicknames for a certain acquaintance of hers?]

[voice] dancing_pierrot November 3 2010, 19:58:46 UTC

But 'grinning' is hardly derogatory on its own, however, when used in collocation with 'gargoyle'...

[She seems to be giving this matter serious thought!]

[voice] tokissity November 3 2010, 20:01:20 UTC

It gets the point across, right? One would initially think it was a compliment, only to have the full meaning sink in later.

Sometimes one has to "think out of the box", as they say.

[voice] dancing_pierrot November 3 2010, 20:08:34 UTC

Indeed. Yet, it still could be understood to be just a particularly back-handed compliment.

[voice] tokissity November 3 2010, 20:47:28 UTC

Perhaps, though it could be argued that your lovely array of insults may be too complicated for the average man to fully understand.

Which is a sad statement on the intelligence of men, but true, nonetheless.

Then in the same vein, he would not know he is being insulted until he searches for a dictionary.

[voice] tokissity November 3 2010, 21:13:18 UTC

Ah, but isn't that the point? Most men wouldn't even bother with a dictionary, so you have to give it to them in simple terms. I believe I remember a class in middle school that said that newspapers typically write at a fifth grade level - so therefore you have to keep your insults at a similar level, so that even the most moronic of men will get it.

[voice] dancing_pierrot November 3 2010, 21:15:44 UTC

What if I don't want them to realise they're being insulted?

[voice] tokissity November 3 2010, 21:22:51 UTC

[She gave an amused snort at that.] That'd be rather cruel of you then.

Though it'd be amusing to see their reaction if they ever did realize the exact meaning of what was said. I'd imagine something akin to the confused expression of a dog when playing fetch with them, only to hide the object behind your back.

[voice] dancing_pierrot November 3 2010, 21:29:28 UTC

It's hardly that cruel. It would be their own fault for not adequately expanding their vocabularies.

[voice] tokissity November 3 2010, 22:06:21 UTC

[Ivy was pretty sure she liked this woman already. If nothing else, she was amusing.]

I suppose it is. In that respect, at least you're beneficial to the men perhaps becoming less idiotic than before.

Though I still doubt most would refer to a dictionary. Oh well. It's the thought that counts, right~?

[voice] dancing_pierrot November 4 2010, 00:44:57 UTC

It can act as a filter; it will tell me which men are worth my time to bother associating with.

[voice] tokissity November 4 2010, 01:38:47 UTC

[But the stupid ones are the easiest to rope in your schemes!]

That's true, I suppose. At least worth your time on an intellectual level. But the stupid ones have their uses too~

[voice] dancing_pierrot November 4 2010, 01:47:28 UTC

Oh, and what would those be?

[voice] tokissity November 4 2010, 01:51:35 UTC

Errand boys.

[voice] dancing_pierrot November 4 2010, 01:53:13 UTC

I am perfectly capable of completing my own errands.
