Huh? Have you never heard snow and sleet banging off of a surface? This is a thing. “Meaningful of,” on the other hand, is a brand new expression to me! ---

Snow, no. Sleet, yes. Snow doesn’t really bang off of anything (avalanches excepted). (And I also _literally_ had sleet tinkling off my a/c (wasn’t bad enough to be banging, except maybe during one of the stronger wind gusts) most of the day.) ---

Where I am the snow can build up fast and you can hear it shifting or falling when it needs to. ---

> [@ckalli1998](#): > > I’m not misinformed though. I’m a 19 year old man, got in a lot of honors courses, and I am very informed to make my own decisions. Just a little friendly advice: So long as you feel the need to tell people your age as a means of validation, you are not yet a man. So long as you feel the need to tell people that you have taken honors courses as a means of validation, you are not yet educated. There are a lot of posters here who first started in college. I was one of them. When I go back and look at my first posts, they’re pretty cringeworthy. I had a weird idea, back then, of what constituted good writing. And yeah, I was an honors student. And yeah, I probably would have described myself as “a 19-year-old man.” And yeah, that would have been laughable. You’re a kid. Kids are dumb. It’s okay. If you have any intention of sticking around this board, do yourself a favor and don’t come back to this thread. Keep posting about the things that interest you, dial back the personal insults, and you’ll learn a thing or two. Eventually you’ll be forgiven for the douchery of your first few weeks. Or you won’t, and you’ll flame out and nobody will even remember you when they’re talking about the greatest trolls this board has seen. Those are **big** shoes, my friend. ---

Greatest trolls in SDMB? I don’t remember that many. The grapist for sure, but all he did was turn text purple and tag it with “This post has been graped by the grapist.” Aside from that, they all tend to be indistinguishable members of a troll collective, like bees. ---
