Rant of the Day

My newest pet peeve is people who cannot banter but try to anyway.  The result of this is not lighthearted and witty repartee but rather words and comments that smack you in the face like unripe apples.  In essence, bad banter sucks some serious goat balls.

I think at the heart of this is that not everyone is meant to trade quick and funny insults and whimsical references to pop culture.  This is analogous to the same way that not everyone is meant to be a supermodel or a professional tennis player.   I just really want to destroy anyone who has delusions that they are a Gilmore Girl.  You are not funny and at times, you come off as vaguely offensive.  

I can banter.  And I have many friends who are also very skilled at it.   Maybe my standards are higher than most.  Either way, brevity is the key to good English.  If your words are not substantive, entertaining or passionate, leave them in your mouth.  

Note: Sometimes the amount of bitchiness I can project astounds me, too.  I just have occasional periods of rage.  Maybe it's because I never get angry whilst driving.
