Worked as a physicist for 30 years, nobody talks like that. Everyone else in the room is to smart, and will slap you down for using absolutes.

>nobody
You should be slapped as well then.

[–] justaman123@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, but I think that playing with the grammar is part of the joke, as if derogatory is quantifiable.

[–] Fmstrat@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Ahem... "too".

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm about to slap you both. For the lulz.

Anyway they said they worked as a physicist not a linguist

[–] hypeerror@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 weeks ago

That explains why the Sith were rarely seen in the sciences.

Think you'd rather catch an art teacher saying that than a scientist tbh.
