If one is to force one’s cock so roughly up the anus of the English language, one ought to have the basic decency to apply a little lube to ameliorate the hemorrhaging.

…and take a fucking bath, you filthy peasant.

For the English ‘common’ = ‘White Trash’

If I was her my response would have been “all that money would buy you a bath I’d think. I take back my apology. You smell like Calvin Kline’s dead cat”.

Because the boys in the hood are always hard…

RIP, Eazy.

Now, I really am curious to know…What would most dopers do in this situation.

'Cause although calling people ‘common pieces of shit’ aint quite my style, I really can’t see myself letting a comment like this slide.

I’d say “No problem” about the apology, or maybe a “Don’t sweat it”.  
And maybe crack a joke or something. But mostly likely, I’d just walk away and wonder… “was it me?”

I think the moral of the thread is Armani aftershave smells bad. Can’t really blame them. I’d put out some nasty smelling stuff too and charge a heap for it just to see if people will buy it if I were them. Skunk love number 5.

If only I were Tyler Durdan and lived near a liposuction clinic…

That’s nice you can bath, but let’s skip the insults and stay on topic. Now…how would you have responded?

Well if it was me, to be honest, I’d just accept the apology (“That’s okay”) and move on. I’m not very quick on my feet.

Whether she thought so or not, with aftershave and shower gel, you probably DID smell. Don’t mix your scents.

The OP was lucky. I did get into a fight with a girl that I called a cheap whore, got my eye blacked too.

She hit me with a bag of quarters.

Wow, you name dropped Armani and Prada? You’re a common piece of shit in scented wrappings.

People who get excited about Armani and Prada, let alone use it as a talking point, are clueless low class idiots.

I can just imagine the neck wag with the finger moving back and forth. “Oh no you di’in’t! This doesn’t stink you common piece of shit, this is Armani and Prada.”

Do you have a ‘Louis’ bag? When you were out did you go for the good stuff? Did they pass the Courvoisier, or did you drink Hypnotiq, like every other little ghetto slut who doesn’t know that if it’s advertised on a billboard it’s not that high class.

If you don’t like what I have to say, don’t name drop your fucking perfume next time. It makes you sound like an idiot. It doesn’t make you high class, it just means that you were marketed to effectively.

If you smell like Armani aftershave and Prada hair gel, you stink. (Are you sure you aren’t getting Armani and Drakkar Noir mixed up? I have a real good feeling that I know EXACTLY what you smell like - a little boy dressed up like a man).

When did Armani and Prada become manly?
