For me in English we were going over slang throughout the 20th century and we got to swagger. Someone asked what it meant. Almost everyone was in awe when they found out that swag was short for swagger.

My classic example was a guy talking to me in a bar. I was wearing a sweatshirt made to look like a Guinness label, but for the band The Business. He asked me about the shirt, and I explained that they were a British punk band. He said "Oh, where are they from?" I looked at him incredulously for a moment and said "... Britain..?" His friends who were with him gave him merciless **** over it.

I assume the dumb part of that scenario is the person who claimed swag is short for swagger? Because it's not.

Well it wasn't so much as what they said as much as it was what they did...or didn't do, rather. In 10th grade a small portion of my World History class was dedicated to geography and some people were called up to the front of the room to point out a certain country. One girl did not know where Mexico was. And after an unsuccessful attempt at guessing she asked, "Wait, isn't Mexico in the US?"

"Time is irrelevant, and doesn't change things."

I didn't hear it said but I read it as a quote from someone. It's the most ignorant thing I've ever heard.

It's not short for anything. Swag is its own word. Swagger was derived from swag, not the other way around.

Also neither words are common usage, so I don't see how any of this can be considered "The dumbest thing you've ever heard".

That is not really dumb just ignorant. People don't understand that PCs are so upgradeable. Anyways, I can't really cite specific examples but I have heard so many people incorrectly talk about events in history that it just makes me facepalm. And when I correct them some people are ignorant enough to stick by their idiocracy.

Have to agree with you guys.

Highly annoying. Reminds me of the myspace girls years back who would update there status with that everytime they got a new boyfriend or something. Then a week later posting another status like "omg life sucks so bad. Ill never fall in love again."

Rinse and repeat every week.

"Give back to your community" That pisses me off to no end. When my mom and I first moved to this neighborhood in the early 90's, our apartment was broken into just a couple weeks after we moved there. My neighborhood hasn't given us anything, we didn't have much but what we did we worked hard for. I hope that crack head who robbed us OD's and ends up falling into the path of an incoming train. If I'm going to give anything back to my neighborhood it's going to be a nuke to cleanse this area of all this filth. Hopefully gentrification gets rid of this garbage before I have to take such drastic measures.

I work in a restuarant. i got a couple. I love the : I want my meat rare but not cold/I want my beef med-rare but not bloody.

However these two are the funniest and dumbest things I've heard.

1:

Customer: I want the fried rice with everything in it.

Server: Chicken fried rice?

Customer: no, not just chicken--everything.

Server: Beef fried rice?

Customer (looks to her husband): which one is it honey?

Customer (husband): combination fried rice.

2:

Customer: Excuse me, this beer you just served me isn't cold.

Server: You want ice with that?

Once met a guy who swears to the fact that he saw a triangular UFO hovering directly above him in broad daylight, doing rotations and claimed it moved without accelerating :lol:

This SAME guy thinks that the bricks used to build the pyramids in ancient Egypt were moved by kites of some sort....

Someone asked what it meant. Almost everyone was in awe when they found out that swag was short for swagger.

MrMe1000

Swag means to sway or move heavily ;) Swagger was derived from swag

IDK, i hear a lot of things.... my sister recently said South Korea was an island though i'm sure i've heard worse, my memory dosn't work well with this sort of thing
