say what?

If someone described me as an obnoxious cracker who looked like he'd been addicted to coke for a decade, teeth of a donkey and ears of something out of Lord of the Rings I'd fall on my ass laughing.

I'd wonder why someone has used a term, "cracker," usually used to describe a poor, rural, uneducated white resident of the Southeastern United States, to describe a well-educated upper middle class white man living in Columbus, Ohio.

I never understand why people have problems being described how they are or seem.

Similarly, I'd wonder why someone would describe a person as an "oriental" instead of an "Asian," and, indeed, wonder why he thought appearance, national origin or race was relevant or expansively informative with regard to the particular description. I'd have thought that "gimpfucker" and "cocksucker" adequately conveyed that someone's nuanced enthusiasm toward the object of disaffection. Or is there something special about the "oriental" varieties that you wanted us to know about?

I don't see where any problem should lie, aside from me stabbing ppl and wishing for their deaths, but this is the internet.

I understand that people may have revenge fantasies that they never act upon, but I also observe that most people are rarely compelled by irritation, anger or outrage to articulate death wishes in public forums, even, believe it or not, on "the internet."

You can't take me as a joke one day talking about being an incestuous pedophile trolling the streets after the local HS girls soccer practice lets out and take me serious the next about shiv'in random people I hate in theory.

Which -- even granting that some people, apparently, think repeated pedophile jokes are humorous -- is the same as saying that if one of a person's behaviors is jolly good fun, all of them must be. Which is ridiculous.

Now we're on to the "pimpy looking."

About that ... Looking at this picture from the WSOB UK semifinal, I'm stumped: what qualifies as "pimpy looking" in Ohio? What is it, the flamboyantly tailored jacket? The naughty collar plunge? The ooh-la-la mustache? The lamé trousers? Recent haircut? Clean fingernails?
