things that make people look ridiculous

Diablo,

I may be guilty of at least the former...

Is ordering "Pico de gallo" instead of "tomato salsa" at Chipotle considered a violation?

i'm not exactly the supreme arbiter of conduct that Diabs is, but I'd say you're safe in this instance.

however, depending on how you pronounce the phrase may affect whether or not it's ridiculous. like if you just say it in a normal accent, that's good. but if you go out of your way to pronounce it with the proper emphases and/or accents of the foreign language, that is particularly gay.

Do you.. type on it with only one hand? I don't understand. I mean, if you have to use one at work, then it's like forced homosexuality. Forced gay male prostituting, if you will.

I might be gay then.

Last weekend I made a carry out order to a local mexican restaurant (pretty authentic mexican not texmex type of place) and my roommate told me I basically ordered in spanglish.

I guess I picked up on the accent marks, and changed my own accent (mid-atlantic neutral accent) a little bit.

well, I probably didn't explain that very well in my post concerning "proper accents and/or emphases".. I didn't mean you should pronounce it "pick-oh dee gall-oh" or something similarly ridiculous.

but a normal "peeco day guy-o" will do.

kip,

Basically, if you ask for pico and they say "Huh?" and you then say "tomato salsa" that means you fail. I suspect you're probably OK, though.

This weekend, I mentioned to a friend that I was going to a Mexican place. He said "Oh, you are going for some mexicana comida?" I said, "Well, I'm going for Mexican food, but in Spanish you say the noun first, so it's comida mexicana, you f'ing retard." He then tried to make some claim about how both were acceptable, to which I responded "Yeah, they're both right, both as right as going for some food mexican, dumbass."

Ya I never have to tell them tomato salsa. They know what this gringo means the first time.

kip,

Obviously, when calling a place, Spanglish (or Chinenglish) is perfectly appropriate.

When I'm ordering Chinese, I order "2 order crab puff, 1 pot sticker, etc."

They always get my order right. Friends who order "2 orders of crab puffs, 1 order of pot stickers, etc." always end up w/ messed up orders.

Belittling superior intelligence (omfg, he use big words, what a dork!!!).

Being taller than 6' and owning a small, short car; no matter how fast it goes, you look ridiculous.

Using movie quotes or one-liners as any greater than 5% of your communication.

Being needy/ overly attention-seeking.

Attempting to defend religious/supernatural beliefs with logic. Also, debating someone doing so. There's little chance this won't be a supremely frustrating waste of time, and both look ridiculous all the while.
