That is truly bad 
I’m originally from Buffalo. He probably wouldn’t like it.
Seriously, the OP is way over-sensitive here. If it’s in a documentary, maybe they’re underestimating their audience, but it’s probably not intended to be smug. The whole point of the documentary is to teach other people about something whereas the whole “you’ve probably never heard of it” is about feeling superior because you know something that other people don’t. I’m against that attitude in general because I feel like knowledge exists to be shared. When I do end up talking about something that people probably haven’t heard of, rather than just stating that they probably haven’t heard of it, I’ll ask them if they’re familiar with it so I can gauge how much I need to fill in. It is funny when people are saying it seriously and it turns out to be a band with radio singles or a show on broadcast television.
This makes me think of the Star Trek episode “The Trouble with Tribbles” when the obnoxious bureaucrat tells Kirk, “I wouldn’t expect you or your science officer to know what it is, but quadrotricale…” Spock interrupts to define it and begins to describe its origins until Kirk stops him.
I was going to post the same thing. When someone says that they usually are not trying to be smug but to make you feel ok about not knowing about it.
Reminds me of Bill Engval (comedian) with his “Here’s your sign” jokes…where the sign says you are stupid. Things like sitting by a smoking car and someone says “Having car problems?”. They aren’t being stupid…they are just starting a conversation.
How do you dink beer? I’ve never heard of that so it must be cool !
Hey, try teaching at an Art School. Hipster is the default. I was chatting with a half dozen kids, and I laughed about being the only one without “huge hipster Buddy Holly glasses”. At which point one of them whipped his glasses into his pocket, and the others followed suit.* “What? Hipster glasses? We know not of which you speak, stranger.”*
You want attitude?
I was a huge fan of Pauly Shore long before it was cool to be so.
Thanks for posting that. I love it. My older brother has been gassing on about American craft beer week over on Facebook, so I’m going to see if he’s tried this one.
Still: available in a THREE LITER bottle? :eek:
And that would be… now, would it not?
On the other hand, I’ve had people get annoyed with me for assuming they know about things that I’m explaining something about, and then showing a little surprise when they tell me that they don’t know about the things I assume they’ve heard about or understand.
Know whut I mean?
We had one back before it was cool, but you probably never heard of it.
Incidentally, last night I watched the documentary on scopolamine and it’s kind of freaking me out.
Yep. I’m still hipper all y’alls.
Scopolamine? Never heard of it.
I think you might find one of these comes in handy from time to time.
