See, I'm just astounded that such uncouth women are even able to find men to marry.

They are spiteful because they have mistaken being "grown adults" for having the maturity level of a true adult. People of this sort cannot handle being chastised or reminded of their juvenilic behavior because they are either incapable of formulating a logical defense, or they simply don't want to concede that they are just as sophomoric and deplorable as their cattiness makes them sound.

Cute, does your thesaurus always help you write your self-righteous, preachy rants to 6 month old threads on internet forums?  What do you do in real life, when you can't pull it out?

Oh, I'm one of those uncouth women you can't believe found someone to get married to, huh?  Well to answer your implicit question, he's just as uncouth as me.  We're the assholes sitting in the corner of the restaurant judging everyone else.  Including you.

Sweet, now I can go get married in 4 days without worrying that I did nothing productive during my engagement ;)    I'd say making someone's life is pretty darn productive.  AND I didn't even need a thesaurus to do it.

Surely not; I'm pretty sure "juvenilic" is not a word. I'd go with "puerile" if (for whatever reason) the word "juvenile" wasn't enough.

That's exactly what happened to me!  I read the first page, got bored, skipped to the last one, saw box kitty at the top of the page and was like...dude....whoa....I don't remember posting in this thread...

And THEN I looked at the date.

Also, when the more refined patrons of restaurant politely acknowedge the presence of -- then proceed to ignore -- the two classless buffoons in the corner of a restaurant, those two can "judge" all they want, but they have nothing to judge but that they are crass.

I meant <em>juvenility</em>. Good call. Not only was my reply not thesaurus-derived, it wasn't even proof-read! Glad to see someone with a brain! <u>Finally!</u>

Oh I assure you that my vocabulary is just fine.  And the implicit question I was answering was how someone as uncouth as I could find someone--not that I DID find someone.

And...for acknowledging and ignoring the buffoons, you sure sound pretty judgmental in...well, every post you've made in this thread.  So congratulations on allowing me to add the big word of "hypocritical" into today's big word collection.

I used to speak and write with unnecessarily large words. Then I realized it made me sound like a snob...

It always astounds me when people think using every big word possible makes them sound more intelligent.

Do you talk like that in real life? Because seriously, I imagine that if you do, you've encountered more than your fair share of eyerolls.
