Some Helpful English Translations

Sometimes, when browsing profiles or reading emails, you may encounter a phrase which confuses you, or seems to have hidden meaning. As a student of human behavior, I feel it is my duty to provide you with translations of a few commonly used phrases. I hope this helps.

I'm super random!
"I make up for my poor social skills by being LOUDER and MORE SO. I hope you will enjoy my ability to quote entire episodes of British television shows from memory."

I like to keep busy.
"I have no hobbies. Please save me from my desperately boring existence."

I hate hipsters.
"I'm a hipster."

I have eclectic tastes
"I shop at Cost Plus and think movies are automatically good if they're foreign."

I have a great sense of humor.
"I'm dull as toast."

I live life on my own terms.
"I'm a flaky (wo)man-child who has little to no concern for the people around me."

I'm looking for someone honest and authentic.
"Hi, how much will it cost to check my EXTRA MASSIVE baggage?"

I'm assertive.
"I'm high-maintenance."

I know what I like.
"I'm really high-maintenance."

I'm kind of a Renaissance Man.
"I try to be universally misinformed on as many subjects as possible."

I have an artistic streak.
"I'm untidy and perpetually late."

I'm a very physical person.
"I'm starved for attention, please hug me!"

Except Rap and Country.
"My musical tastes are formed entirely by the radio, but I'd like you to know that I'm not a redneck or, you know, 'urban'."

I'm just here for the quizzes.
"I haven't gotten laid in months."

An image of Borogovian I have an artistic streak.

"I'm untidy and perpetually late."

This is very true of me.

Borogovian commented on

An image of MyLiverWeeps Christ that's a shot of reality for ya. I thought I was the only person who cringed at the words "looking for honest and authentic". Nice post.

An image of theskaboss there's something to be said about reading to much into things.

theskaboss commented on

An image of ipsafictura Borogovian: Nothing wrong with that if you own it. Theskaboss: There's also something to be said for humor, and for recognizing that people are often not good at honest self-examination.

ipsafictura commented on

An image of theskaboss honest self examination! Well ha that's what I pay my high priced head shrinker for. Anywhich way I enjoy reading your posts =)

theskaboss commented on

An image of renaissgirl I think this is my profile. Certainly, my name fits the profile. I am doomed.

renaissgirl commented on

An image of burntthing this is brilliant lady. well put.

burntthing commented on

An image of renaissgirl Oh, wait! I do like rap and I'm not super random.

renaissgirl commented on

An image of Maverisms No worries, ren. Even if you didn't like rap, you've mentioned John Tesh, which I think exempts you from the rule.

Maverisms commented on

An image of sean-head UncannyValley: I think you just broke my brain.

sean-head commented on

Default user image Wow. That's depressingly funny... and/or funnily depressing. :morbid chuckle:

Very kind of you, Mav. Much appreciated. :)

An image of rainbowswearing I am full of contraditions.

"I have yet to figure out who the fuck I am."

rainbowswearing commented on

Default user image Excellent. I also love it when someone says "My tastes in music are eclectic.", and then they list a bunch of rock bands as their favorites.

A former user commented on

An image of ipsafictura Eve: I think I mentioned that one in my post on "how to make me stop reading your profile."

ipsafictura commented on

An image of atropa777 Ahem. I know what I like = I'm difficult.

atropa777 commented on

An image of cyranocoyote Damn it. Now I have to start shopping at Cost Plus. And they don't have *anything* in my size!

cyranocoyote commented on

An image of tactileswede I am too diverse to be summed up in a few paragraphs.

I do not trust you to want me, if managed to convey who I am. I do not care to help those who would love me for whom I am, to recognize me, for what I am. I have no idea of what I am, let alone any capacity for perceiving what I would be to anyone else.

tactileswede commented on

An image of tactileswede Alternatively:

No, you're not.

(And I, of course, never ever drop a word in posts written after midnight, nor miss it in proof-reading too. Perish the thought!)

tactileswede commented on

Default user image Awesome! This made me laugh (so did your post about "how to get me to stop reading your profile) -- thank you. :)
