Seriously though, I am sorry if I am bring up a topic that you all have spoken of, but I am just floored with the language/speech differences.
Genius started saying things like:
1. That's cool man.
2. What's up Dude?
3. Beginning sentences with "D**n, Dawg"
4. It's like...
Lots of swearing. Not just at me, but using it almost as though it were punctuation.
"D**n dude, these are some F***ing bad a$$ Batman shows."
Yep, started watching the old Batman shows because "Current sitcoms are too predictable."
And holding up his hand with the "talk to the hand" gesture. I must say that one was pretty annoying, but not quite as annoying as him calling me man and dude.
Oh, and the counting-"you have 5 seconds to tell me what's for dinner-1, 2, 3, 4, 5-too late, times up, don't have time to wait for you dude. If you can't tell me, I will just starve." Ok by me big boy! I know I won't.
All this from a man with a doctorate. Boggles the mind.

I don't miss that at all.

if people won’t listen to you, there’s no point in talking to people. If they won’t listen, you’re just banging your head against a wall.
Sadly Ive used up all the time I had allotted to spend banging my head on the wall
