Self-explanatory.
Mine still stands from before.
"They don't speak German in Germany! They speak Dutch!" from a friend when he and I were having a conversation on foreign languages.
I facepalmed at the fail.

A girl in my French II class thought that "kebab" was French for "sandwich."
Um, no.

"Molto bien!" A classmate's Italian essay. We are in Italian III. This even pains me. Ragazza idiota. @thread: I still can't believe some people in my geography class don't know how to spell Yukon. I get it, we're not Canadian, but have you ever heard of a world map before? Hell, even a North American map?

As tvTropes so elegantly put it:
"in Breaking Dawn, the island where Edward and Bella are spending their honeymoon is off the west coast of Brazil."

Coastline: an area of land next a sea or ocean; the seashore. By strict definition she fails basic geography. Granted it could be a hilarious typo but I wouldn't hold my breath.

This thread is back! Yessssss!
A funny stupid moment that happened back in August that I just now remembered:
"You can get the DVD set, but it costs, like, 40 ducks!"
Yes, ducks. Granted, she was half-asleep at the time, but we all thought it was hilarious, especially her.

"It was rood and I farroed my brow confusedly at hymn, but decided but hes sex-ah so Ill let him get away with it (The Lord teeches us to forgave)." - from Erin's infamous "Brewdeningly Love" So I'm suppose to believe I have to forgive Ted Bundy and other crazy motherfuckers who have raped/murdered/committed heinous crimes with no sign of sympathy because they are sexually appealing, even if those people don't even BOTHER even attempting redeem themselves or ask for forgiveness? Yeeeeee--NO! Not happening

My mom: "Metal is such a derivative genre. All the metal bands tried to copy Led Zeppelin and failed. Led Zeppelin was the only band that did metal right!" "Wait, so what's the difference between a bass guitar and a regular guitar?" BTW, this is coming from a woman who has listened to rock music for her entire life. My dad: "I just realized something... Green Day is like the American version of The Clash!" No, just... no.

Just remembered this little gem from this past summer.
I was at a water park, and saw a man with "Definately will kill you" tattooed on his back. Not definitely, definately. XD

My dad: "I just realized something... Green Day is like the American version of The Clash!" No, just... no. Yeah...you just don't compare the two. Speaking of retarded music related comments: "Green Day are the kings of punk" "The Jonas Brothers are the new Beatles" "Who's David Bowie?" "Joy Division is depressing emo music. I mean, the singer even killed himself." "Fall Out Boy's cover of Love Will Tear Us Apart is so much better than the original" "Classic rock is so boring" "My Bloody Valentine? Don't you mean Bullet For My Valentine?" Stupid girl: What are you listening to? Friend of mine: Pink Floyd Stupid girl: Are you emo?

"Fall Out Boy's cover of Love Will Tear Us Apart is so much better than the original" "My Bloody Valentine? Don't you mean Bullet For My Valentine?" I have a terrible feeling that if I mention I like My Bloody Valentine to people at school, they'll answer with that. Or they'll call me an emo.

This girl was reading her story outloud to me, and she said this wonderful gem:
"Alex silently walked up to me and said "Hello" in his Taylor Lautner voice with a hint of Zach Efron."
Literary masterpiece right there.

Literary masterpiece right there. rofl. That's exactly how most of my "artistic" friends write. XD The main character's love interest's descriptive paragraph is almost always ended with "looks a lot like Taylor Lautner." Or Gerard Way.

One instance at work:
Me: *counting off each vegetable/fruit I like, and as soon as I get to potatoes...* Alecia: PFFTTTT, Potatoes aren't a vegetable. Me: *somewhat curious, but ready to facepalm* What is it then? Alecia: A starch product *rambles on about stupid shit*. Me: *mentally facepalming*.
ORLY? ^Was just going to link wikipedia, but someone edited the word "vegetable" out. So, yeah XD. Well, they're considered to be "root vegetables" to be more accurate. But a vegetable nonetheless.

"Classic rock is so boring" Well, a lot of it is. <.< "Classic rock" is such a broad term it's kind of meaningless, but if it refers to bands that do nothing but wank around with some generic blues riffs in the pentatonic scale like Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, and AC/DC, then yeah, that's boring as hell. If she means classic prog or southern rock though, yeah, we have beef.

Like King Crimson, Rush, Yes, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Van Der Graaf Generator, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Creedence Clearwater Revival etc etc etc? Because I'm fairly sure that person would totally label them as "classic rock". Anyway, you are right about the fact that classic rock is a really broad and extremely poorly defined term. I noticed that most of the time, people use it to label pretty much all rock-type music that's old and not metal, punk or 80s alternative stuff, because they apparently can't be bothered to figure out the actual genre. Since that covers a very broad range of artists that are musically very different, I considered that claiming that all of it is liek so boooring was a pretty ignorant thing to say.

All those possibly-lifelong mental side effects are just a slap on the wrist, you know? I'm hoping it was a satire. It was edited anyway, they removed the holiday bit. But still, "rape is an unpleasant experience"? No shit Sherlock! Would you like the understatement of the year trophy? Being totally fucking brainless and insensitive must be an unpleasant experience too.
