If you spend enough time around people who communicate poorly, do you begin to communicate poorly yourself? Do you believe in the Zelig syndrome?
Does stupid wear off on other people? Be concise. | |

I think stupid attracts stupid.
Though to answer the question...Yes, I think to some degree stupidity can wear off on others just like other personalyity traits. It does depend on who does the influencing and how "cool" they seem to others. Also stupidity comes in different flavors, like ignorance or arrogance which can lead someone to do or say stupid things. Christian Zombie Vampires | |

Ok, yes then.. I worked with a girl and she used to get her words mixed up and would say them in any old way.. Like: Lever Arch File = Archie Lever File and shit like that It was really confusing but when I spend time with intelligent folks, then I seem to come across more intelligent - its just natural I suppose | |

I think there is something to it.
I think it's a Cloquet thing (the city we live in) to say "them things", the girl I work with...lived in/graduated from Cloquet and says it all the time. My hubby never did till he started working @ the paper mill in Cloquet and now I catch him saying it all the time (works with lots of Cloquet people). DRIVES ME BONKERS!! Thankfully it drives me nuts enough that I haven't started saying it myself. | |

ummm... btw i'm pretty sure a ain't a 'pheromone', pal. (at least, if it is, then prince's song 'pheromone; takes on an entirely different and much less appealing nuance). just thought someone should tell you | |

Around here people say "yous" all the time. My favorite is when a waitress comes over, looks at your plate and says "Are yous still working on that?"

That's how I am. I told ya'll before, I use proper english and get called "white" what kind of bullshit is THAT? Hearing the way people talk FORCES me to use correct english. I can't stand it at my job, a black man will come to me and I'll say "Hello" and he'll say "whatsgoingonwhatspoppinhowulivinwassupmynigga" and I'm standing there looking at him like that MUTHAfuckin hell did you just say to me? Then when I "continue to talk white", they look at me like I have an attitude problem, then tell me I need to loosen up and get a sense of humor. No, YOU need to learn how to fucking talk. Thank God I can get my point across with just a look. My OTHER best friend is in college, VERY educated, yet he sounds so fucking stupid when he talks and I asked him one time why he talks "different" because we're from York. We don't have accents and all that, so I noticed. And he said "cuz, na mean, all mah boiiiiieeeezzz is from Philly and shit, and I picked up they accents and shit cuz I be chillen wit 'em" all I could say to him was "Nigga, Please." and he said "you sounded MAD white when you said that."
