Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Snarf Zagyg]

Not here.

Yes, you can intentionally choose the options that cause the most possible disruption to the game and everyone else's fun but your own. You seem to think that somehow proves you're smart rather than an intentionally disruptive ass.

Little known fact.

83% of the comments on the Pineapple Express are actually about Derek.

DEREK!!!!!!

So, topic to think about.

If someone calls you a foodie, is that an insult or a compliment?

Obviously, people call themselves whatever they want. And context always matters. Although some terms don't require context.*

But I was pondering this issue recently (it happened because I saw a job position listed than mentioned that foodies would it. And it reminded me of a viral story from a few years ago of a police department that was recruiting "Gamers", "Influencers", "Techies", and "Foodies."

I remember when the term was still rare, and then it was ubiquitous, and then there was pushback. So I am throwing this out for general discussion-

Someone calls someone else a foodie.

Three questions**-

1. Without more, do you consider that a compliment or an insult?
2. If you called someone that, how are you using it?
3. If someone called you that, how are you using it?
4. Finally, what context (if any) would you need to make a determination?



*Bless your heart- context required. Bless your cotton socks? Not so much.
Karen? Usually you don't need context, unless it's, um, someone's name.

**I refuse to abide by the petty limits I make! Take that, me!

...

As someone who regularly experiences it personally, I can assure you- MAXIMUM DEREK is better in theory than in reality.

That is why I keep my booze locked away. And my nutmeg. And anything (flour, sugar, salt) that might resemble Bolivian Marching Powder.

1. Without more, do you consider that a compliment or an insult?

Compliment, of course!

2. If you called someone that, how are you using it?

Person who is a food geek.

3. If someone called you that, how are you using it?

I'd pretend I misheard them as calling me a "Newsie" and get very, very, obnoxious about it.

4. Finally, what context (if any) would you need to make a determination?

Not much. I take it as about as serious as calling someone a film buff or a hipster.

*Bless your heart- context required. Bless your cotton socks? Not so much.

Ain't that precious.

Karen? Usually you don't need context, unless it's, um, someone's name.

Im up to 5 Karens' at work that tell me "it's pronounced car-en" Can't blame them.

An infinitely large group of mathematicians walk into a bar, wanting to play a prank on the bartender. The first mathematician orders a pint with a straight face. The second mathematician suppresses a laugh, and orders half a pint. The third mathematician, giggling a bit, orders a quarter of a pint. When the fourth mathematician orders an eighth of a pint, they all start laughing at how the bartender is gonna be stuck here forever pouring drinks. It's at this point when the bartender smirks and hands over two pints, saying "you mathematicians don't know your limits."

Take your laugh, and feel terrible!

Q. Why was Heisenberg known to be such a notoriously bad lover?

A. Whenever Heisenberg got the momentum, he couldn't find the position, and when he found the position, he just couldn't muster up the momentum.

Virtually anything can be a compliment or insult. It's all in how it's said. That's why text sucks for tone

Warning for real people language.

As far as I know, being called a foodie is ok, my wife calls herself one.
