Have you ever had to pretend like you knew what somebody was talking about so you wouldn't look dumb? Well, I have and today, I got called out! Usually, it goes down like this.
Friend 1: Remember 1997, when all the teachers went on this HUGE strike?
Friend 2: Oh yeah, Mike Harris and his dumb "common sense revolution", he like cut a million jobs and everyone was super pissed.
Me: Yeah, I remember! (when really, i had no idea what a common sense revolution was and googled it upon arriving home)
In most cases, I slide under the radar and never get called out. But today, I was shopping with a friend and this is a verbatim log of what happened.
Friend: Oh, I totally forgot! I wanted to buy this maxi dress from H&M. I have like two weddings to go to, even though its $70, it's worth it.
Me: (not knowing what a "maxi" dress is) Oh yeah? What does it look like?
Friend: blah blah blah
Me: (trying to figure out what the hell a maxi dress can be by looking at her outlining what the dress looks like)
Friend: Do you like maxi dresses, jes?
Me: (W-T-F, EFF YOU BIOTCH) Oh... nooo not really.
Friend: WHY NOT?
Me: Oh, they just don't look good on me.
(quickly walks away)
I should have just asked her what a maxi dress was. I could have learned something new today, but it's just my damn pride. I can't let someone know more than me. HAHA It gets the best of me sometimes. So friend, if you are reading this, what's a maxi dress?! lol :P
